The array literal is parsed as an array initializer (which must be followed by a semicolon.) You can work around this quite easily:

int[] foo = ([1,2,3])[0..1];

I knew about this workaround, just forgot to mention it. The other, of course, is to do:

int[] foo = [1,2,3];
foo = foo[0..1];

It's still a bug, though.
