Description Don 2009-08-25 01:13:59 UTC 
This is the second bug report in bug #1298, which is completely unrelated to the first one.
----
template Foo(Strings...)
{
    const a2 = [Strings]; 
}

alias Foo!("one", "two") foo;

// Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (tuple("one","two")) of type (char[3], char[3]) to char
Comment 1 Shin Fujishiro 2010-10-27 15:23:44 UTC 
Expansion works inside dynamic array literals, but doesn't inside array initializers.  The following works (both D1 & D2):

template Foo(Strings...)
{
    const a2 = ([Strings])[];  // as an array literal
}

alias Foo!("one", "two") foo;
