What is the best way to forward a string[] as argument to a

I need this in the following example where I start the vibe.d
event
loop in the main thread (the only way I've managed to get
runEventLoop() to work) and run my other program logic in
another
which requires command line arguments to passed to the new
thread.
void otherMain(string[] args)
{
// use args
}
void main(string[] args)
{
import std.concurrency: spawn;
auto otherMainTid = spawn(&otherMain, args); // this line
fails
runEventLoop();
}
The line calling spawn() fails as
/home/per/opt/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/dmd/linux/bin64/src/phobos/std/concurrency.d(442):
Error: static assert "Aliases to mutable thread-local data
not allowed."
Maybe try args.idup instead?
But this shouldn't be necessary, right? It's a mutable slice to
immutable data, but the slice is passed by value, so no mutable
sharing takes place.
