Type is probably possible, though conversion method will be simpler. You can even try to write a specialization of `to` for multidimentional arrays if it doesn't work.

OK. Still, this method works:

char[][][][][][] strArr = [[[[["foo", "baz"], ["bar", "tor"]]]].to!(char[][][][][])];

But I don't want to write this `.to!(char[][][][][])`.

Yes, I don't like it.

It appears the problem can be solved by creating specifications .to!strArray, which will determine the dimension of the array and convert it to char[][][][]...

Actually, I will file issue `std.conv` in Phobos to add such specifications. It will suit me.

Thanks to all. I just didn't know that such a conversion is running.
