          Issue ID: 23413
           Summary: Array __equals lowering fails to infer @safe with
                    cryptic error
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: diagnostic
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: dmd

```
@safe:

struct T
{
    S s;
}

struct S
{
    S[] s;
    T[] t;
}

void main()
{
    assert(S.init == S.init);
}
```

Error: incompatible types for array comparison: `S[]` and `S[]` Error: incompatible types for array comparison: `T[]` and `T[]`

I think what's happening here is that `@safe` inference fails because of a cyclic dependency (issue 7205), and the compiler gives a generic error when lowering to `__equals` fails, which completely misses the mark.
