The special handling of arrays always trip me up. It's strange that immutable(int)[] can initialize immutable(int[]). What's even more bizarre is that immutable(int[]) can be assigned to immutable(int)[]
Am I unique in the momentary confusion this causes? I think this property is unique to arrays. Can "alias this" cause a similar effect in other types?
