What would be the purpose of this?
Why do you use "in" in function arguments? To make sure you will not
modify the given array. I think it's not good practice to change the
length of the input strings of the main or replace it with another
dynamic array at runtime.
int main(string[] _args)
{
const args = _args; // not modifiable copy
}
It's a very easy problem to solve, and it's not really worth changing
the compiler for IMO.
In other words, it's one of those "features" that's so trivial that it's
not worth implementing. D cannot always be perfect, and I'd rather we
spend more time on the meaty parts of the language.

This is a place where D trivially could be perfect ;). I agree that this
issue has a very low priority. But it should be fixed eventually.
