Re: A matter of inout

This program used to compile in DMD 2.059:


import std.stdio;
inout(T[]) forwardDifference(T)(inout(T[]) s, in int n) pure {
     foreach (_; 0 .. n)
         s[] -= s[1 .. $];
     return s[0 .. $-n];
}
void main() {
     immutable A = [90.5, 47, 58, 29, 22, 32, 55, 5, 55, 73.5];
     foreach (level; 0 .. A.length)
         writeln(forwardDifference(A.dup, level));
}


Now it gives:

test.d(5): Error: slice s[] is not mutable
test.d(12): Error: template instance test.forwardDifference!(double)
error instantiating

Is it a 2.060 regression (or it's caused by a bug fix)?

If it compiled before then I'd think it's a regression.
