           Summary: Should disable implicit conversion of B[] to A[] when
                    B is derived from A

This exposes a potential memory corruption problem:

class A {}
class B : A {}
void proc(A[] x, A y) {
    x[0] = y;
}
void main() {
    B[] anArrayOfB = new B[5];
    A a = new A();
    proc(anArrayOfB, a);
}

The solution is to disable implicit conversion of B[] to A[], but B[] to
const(A)[] and immutable(B)[] to immutable(A)[] should be allowed.
