           Summary: CTFE fails on array literal of array literals of chars

string foo(string[] ss)

enum r = foo([['c'], ['d']]);
----
cannot evaluate foo([['c'],['d']]) at compile time

This applies to any array of arrays, not only chars. To workaround, initialize r in foo to []:

string foo(string[] ss)
{
    string r = []; // Interestingly, "" doesn't work.
    r ~= ss[0];
    return r;
}

enum r = foo([['c'], ['d']]);

However, the result of foo is crippled in a way that it cannot be processed further at compile time.

For example, pragma(msg, r) fails with Error: string expected for message, not
'['c']'

The bug is also present in dmd 1.

This one's probably related to, if not a duplicate of, Issue 1059.

Please file pragma(msg, ['c']) as a separate report.
