In this bug report I have asked for better error messages:

But beside the error message, do you know why an immutable ref can't be
given to a function with a const ref argument? foo() can't change the
contents of the array a any way, so what's wrong in this code?
void foo(const ref int[5] a) {}
void main() {
immutable int[5] arr;
foo(arr); // Error?
}
BTW, when posting questions like this, it is *immensely* helpful to give
exact error messages, so I don't have to try it out to see what you are
talking about. I spent a while writing a response until I saw the error
message (which changed completely how I viewed the issue), and erased it
before writing my eventual reply.
