Yah, this has constantly puzzled starting C++ programmers - you can convert
char* to const(char*) but not char** to const(char*)*.
Generally, consider types P (permissive) and N (nonpermissive). Assume both
types have the same structure, so there is no matter of converting
representation. Generally you can't convert the address of a N to the address
of a P even if you can actually convert a N to an P. This is because the
address conversion would allow you subsequent P-specific operations directly
against an N object.
