This is a small D2 program that uses parse:

import std.conv: parse;
void main() {
    parse!int("111");
    parse!int("111");
}


Gives the error:
std.conv.ConvError: std.conv(1122): Can't convert value `' of type string base
2 to type int

But a string literal isn't a lvalue. This seems all wrong.

In Bugzilla there are related bugs about strings. Do you think this is worth
another bugzilla entry?

Bye and thank you,

This might be related to that bug report you wrote where you could
assign one string literal to another.

Right. And recently there's another similar bug report in Bugzilla. So I may
add this case just to one of those bug reports.
