A pure function is a workaround. The return value of a pure 
function is implicitly convertible to immutable:

pure string[] foo()
{
    return new string[](10);
}

void main()
{
    immutable(string[]) strArr = foo();
}

Thanks, that does the trick. Also, is there any hack that I can 
use to build an AA at compile time? I have a module level 
variable that's a string[][string] and I'd like to initialize it 
without resorting to static this.
