Hi,

[code]

char myrountine(inout char[] input, uint param) {
         char[] strB = input;
         strB.size = param;
         input[0] = 'x';
         return strB[0];
}

[error]
D:\D\src\test\test.d(20): '8' is not an lvalue

The problem is strB.size was meant to be strB.length, 'strB.size' gets 
replaced by the actual size of strB which is 8, and the error is confusing 
(at first).

Perhaps Walter can un-replace the strB.size for the error message?
