I can not understand, why this code works:

but this can deduces template:

    char s[2] = ['0', 'A'];
    writeln(parse!uint(to!string(s), 16));

What's the reason? And what is the right way to parse 
char[2]->int with radix?

parse takes an lvalue to a range. char[2] is a static array, and 
is not a range. You need to store an actual "char[]" (or string) 
in a variable to call parse. So "ss" will work, "to!string(s)" 
will not.
