We decided to fix this issue by automatically shedding the top-level
const when passing an array or a pointer by value into a function.
It seems strange that if you implemented the exact same semantic as an
a dynamic array or a pointer with a struct it wouldn't work. Basically,
you're making a special case by giving two language-defined types
characteristics that can't be replicated by user types. I'm not
concerned that much, but I thought you worried about those things
Andrei.
Also seems strange to me that class references aren't included in that
list, but then I though about how tail-const still doesn't work with
objects. You'd need my const(Object)ref patch to make that work, and
Walter hasn't taken time to look at it yet…
