void ok(const(int*)*) { }
void ng(const(int)**) { }

void main()
{
    int** x;
    ok(x);
    ng(x);
}

'ng' call fails to compile since 2.058

This is not a bug.  See the examples in issue 4251 for how allowing this would break const.

Exact comment which explains this: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4251#c9

I think this could go to the spec as a small note. It was brought up on IRC by someone converting some C++ code to D, and at first sight it seemed like a rejects-valid. A few of us agreed and I filed it, but comment #9 above explains the problem perfectly.
