Issue ID: 21450
Summary: slice operator is not required for assignment to all
elements of static array
Product: D

When assigning to slice, slice operator is required.
However when assigning to static array compiler silently allows it, which can
lead to bugs.
This behavior should be consistent between slices and static arrays.
```
ubyte[] slice;
slice[] = 2; // ok
slice = 2; // error as expected
ubyte[2] array;
array[] = 2; // ok
array = 2; // doesn't error, works as `array[] = 2`
```
