I disagree. If the string literal is forced to commit to a type, which it
must with the .dup, it goes with char[].

Treating this code as illegal was indeed my first reaction and seems
natural.

The reason for posting this was basically the same as Brad Beveridge's

The different syntax for assigning a value to an editable wchar/dchar[]
on Linux and Windows is a nice bug trap for Windows-based coders.

Windows:






Linux:







Please unify the behaviour.

I've removed both tests for now.
