Just slice the const array to get a range. The specialization for ranges
does not have the bug.

import std.algorithm;
void main() {
const arr = [1, 2, 3];
reduce!"a*b"(arr[]); // It works.
}

Wasn't arr a range already?

No, popFront is mutating and const(int[]) cannot be mutated.

Seems to me like popFront isn't the right tool for the job.
