You'd get a runtime error if you were using Linux. For some reason

technically illegal. So, uh, don't do it.
Yes, that's one advantage to Linux. String literals aren't read-only
on Win32. This is unfortunate because it means that these sort of
bugs are significantly harder to diagnose on Windows than on Linux.
I remember that this was a bug in a early DUI version (now GtkD).
It's was pretty easy to spot on Linux because of the runtime error.
The string literals are read-only on GDC for Win32 too, if that
helps...

That's interesting. So it's actually a compiler issue, not a platform one.
