[dmd-beta] dmd 1.062 and 2.047 beta

hi,

there seems to be a regression regarding compile time evaluation of 
startsWith:

import std.string;

const bool ok = startsWith("ab", 'a');
const bool fails = startsWith("ab", "a");

produces
c:\l\dmd2\windows\bin\..\..\src\phobos\std\functional.d(176): Error: 
static assert  "Bad binary function q{a == b}. You need to use a valid D 
expression using symbols a of type dchar and b of type string."
c:\l\dmd2\windows\bin\..\..\src\phobos\std\functional.d(179):        
instantiated from here: Body!(dchar,string)
c:\l\dmd2\windows\bin\..\..\src\phobos\std\algorithm.d(1981):        
instantiated from here: result!(dchar,string)

This worked for me in 2.046.
