Actually, looking it over again, the return type is fine. That's the overload that always allocates a new string (since it assumes that the array could not have been from a string literal, since that would be a string and would go to the other overload), so even though the argument could have been const or mutable, what's returned is a pointer to a string, so immutable(char)* is correct. But https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15136 is still a problem for the other overload. - Jonathan M Davis
