struct S {
    int i;

extern(C) int main()
{
    S[2] s = [S(1),S(2)];
    void[] v = cast(void[])s;
    S[] p = cast(S[])v; // cast of void[] to S[] triggers __ArrayCast template

__ArrayCast is a templated function that drags in TempStringNoAlloc.get which
isn't available in betterC.

The example is silly but casts from void[] happen a lot in allocator code.
