Unbelievable, we're both right, sort of.
So it is true that typeof(static[]) == dynamic.
But the language also allows implicit conversion in the other
direction.... WTF. If you put a variable in between, it will do a
runtime array copy with assert(sizes match), and if the compiler can
keep track of where it came from, it will implicitly just make it happen.
So we explicitly sliced... then the compiler implicitly undid it again
for overload selection since it knew the size.
This might be the most messed up part of the D language to me now.
Agreed. Surprisingly, there are quite a number of issues that request
exactly that, mostly thanks to our old friend bearophile. The following
may be the reason for this WAT:
