What gives?
const(A) means that the ulong[] inside is const(ulong[]). When
yy is copied
to be appended to c, it goes from const(A) to A, which means
that
const(ulong[]) would need to be sliced and and set to ulong[],
which would
violate const, because it would mean that the last element in c
could mutate
then elements of its x, which would then mutate the elements in
yy.

That makes sense, thanks.
