           Summary: Immutable can't be casted when using nested pointers
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: nobody puremagic.com

When using nested pointers, DMD seems to not be able to realize immutable is
also constant. It'll result in errors similar to:

"function app.test2 (const(char)** test2) is not callable using argument types
(immutable(char)**)"

That issue dates from 2 years ago, and it is marked as resolved, while this bug
still occurs in the head and latest version (2.065) of DMD.

Oh I see what you meant now. But when changing a pointer you should only allow
it to point at what its type tells it to, a constant character in this case!
That on its own is a bug.

I see now, the poiter pointing to an immutable type can be changed to point to
a const (mutable) type.

This is an invalid issue, because of the issue 4251.
