          Issue ID: 19618
           Summary: Incorrect conversion of function returning
                    `typeof(null)` to function returning an associative
                    array
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: x86
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: regression
          Priority: P1

Fix for issue 8589 was incomplete.

---
void f(int[int] function() del)
{
    assert(!del());
}

typeof(null) g() { return null; }

void main()
{
    f(&g);
    f(() => null);
}

As typeof(null) is a pointer type, whilst associative arrays are value types. So can't possibly be covariant.
