You are right, thank you for your answer.

(If you want me/us to try to suggest improvements in how you write in English, I am willing to help you, despite I am not a good English teacher.)

Why not? It is known at the call site that anything foo1 will return is newly allocated. Strong or weak purity is irrelevant.

Your argument had be true.

I had re-read issue 5081, and could be believed that between the purity level (strong, constant, weak) and the conversion possibility to immutable of returned value are irrelevant.

From: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=5081#c2
> Note actually that as long as you can verify the return value did not come directly from the parameters, it's also possible to implicitly cast to immutable.
> 
> For example:
> 
> pure T[] mydup(T)(const(T)[] param) {...}
> 
> It's provable that the return value did not come from param (without a cast), because you can't implicitly cast param to T[].  So you can cast the result to immutable, >>>>even if param began as mutable<<<<.

The last sentence describes the ideal behavior.
Thanks a lot!

Is issue 8998 a regression caused by this patch?
