I believe you mean "int[2][5] data = ...".

Yes I did. I improperly reduced a bug I ran into.

Here is a better illustration of the problem

------
void main() {
    int[][] data = [[0, 1], [2, 3], [4, 5], [6, 7], [8, 9]];
    int[2][5] d = data;
}
------

Maybe it's just a question of a bad error message, because if taking the data from a dynamic array and saving it into a static array is not allowed it should say something like

------
Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (data) of type int[][] to int[2][5]
------

But instead it says

------
Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (data) of type int[][] to int[]
------

Fixed-sized arrays (like `int[2][5]`) have different semantics than slices
(like `int[][]`); you'll have to assign the elements manually.

Ok, so it's a poor error message that should be fixed.
