Why doesn't this code work? I'm using dmd 0.69. It worked with 0.68..

void main()
{
 char[] s = "Hello";
 if(s[0] == "H")
 {
  printf(s);
 }
}

I get:

hello.d(4): incompatible types for ((cast(int)(s[0])) == ("H")): 'int' and
'char[1]'

"H" is a char[1]  s[0] is a char
try 'H' (char literal, not string literal) or "H"[0] !
there has been a change \n is not '\n' and 'foo' is not a string anymore.

Thanks, it worked right away with single quotes. I feel stupid. :)
