You could be forgiven for thinking the error is talking about 't'. But it's
actually talking about the assignment of null instead. This works as
expected:

s = (true) ? cast(char[]) null : t;

But you've got to explicitly cast the null. Yet, the "more traditional"
assignment, on line 7, is accepted without error. What's the deal here?
