Hi David,
I stopped worrying about the alleged bug I had reported after I saw
Git HEAD happily compiled it a few days later.
I found your case more interesting because I could compile your code
by changing
assert_eq!(stuff(), &[]);
to
let b = stuff() == &[];

`assert_eq` does the equality check in both directions.  It seems
that:

  let b = &[] == stuff();

still fails to compile:
test.rs:6:20: 6:27 error: mismatched types: expected `&[<generic #11>, .. 0]`, 
found `&'static [uint]` (expected vector, found vector)
test.rs:6     let b = &[] == stuff();
                            ^~~~~~~
test.rs:6:13: 6:27 error: cannot determine a type for this bounded type 
parameter: unconstrained type
test.rs:6     let b = &[] == stuff();

which is basically the same error seen in the expansion of the
`assert_eq`.

It seems that the array literal cannot be used on the left side of a
comparison.

If anything, the "expected vector, found vector" isn't particularly
helpful.

 I've seen something similar recently, with this code:

 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
 fn main() {
    // Fails.
    assert_eq!(stuff(), &[]);

    // Works
    let tmp: &'static [uint] = &[];
    assert_eq!(stuff(), tmp);
 }

 static simple: &'static [uint] = &[1, 2];

 fn stuff() -> &'static [uint] {
    simple
 }
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------

 The failing code worked a week or so ago.  Similar issue in that I
 can
 make it work by giving an explicit type for the literal array.

   Seems like s1 and s2 are inferred as &[int, ..1] and when I
   manually
   type them as &[int], it successfully compiles.
   fn main() {
       let s1: &[int] = &[0i];
       {
           let s2: &[int] = &[0i];
           let s3 = if true { s1 } else { s2 };
       };
   }
   Putting s1 and s2 into a single block also satisfies the compiler.
   fn main() {
       let s1 = &[0i];
       let s2 = &[0i];
       let s3 = if true { s1 } else { s2 };
   }
   I came from C++ and I think the way I take reference of a fixed
   vector
   literal is correct.
