This code fails to compile

import std.conv;
import std.stdio;

void main()
{
    dchar[7] numStr = "1234567";

    writeln(to!long(numStr));
}


with this error

/home/jmdavis/Downloaded_Files/dmd/dmd2/linux/bin/../../src/phobos/std/conv.d(95):
Error: template std.conv.toImpl(T,S) if (!implicitlyConverts!(S,T) &&

toImpl(T,S) if (!implicitlyConverts!(S,T) && isSomeString!(T) &&

one template declaration,
/home/jmdavis/Downloaded_Files/dmd/dmd2/linux/bin/../../src/phobos/std/conv.d(217):toImpl(T,S)
if (isStaticArray!(S)) and
/home/jmdavis/Downloaded_Files/dmd/dmd2/linux/bin/../../src/phobos/std/conv.d(588):toImpl(T,S)
if ((is(S : const(wchar)[]) || is(S : const(dchar)[])) && !isSomeString!(T))


If you use numStr[] instead of numStr, it works. But I see no reason why to!()
can't be made to work with a static array. Ideally, it would either turn it
into a const ref or a dynamic slice itself, thus avoiding creating a copy, but
right now it just fails. Maybe that's just how things go with static arrays,
but it seems overly restrictive in this case. to!() shouldn't _need_ a
dynamically allocated array.

std.conv.to now support static array conversion, it is treated as dynamic
array.
