--- Comment #1 from Walter Bright <bugzilla@digitalmars.com> ---
Consider:

void test()
{
    const char[8] a = "12345678";
    ulong[1] i = cast(ulong[1])a;   // works
    ulong[1] j = cast(ulong[1])"12345678"; // fails to compile
}

Both should compile. It being a hex string should be irrelevant.
