          Issue ID: 19257
           Summary: std.array.join does not handle const fields that
                    cannot be converted to mutable
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: x86_64
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P1
         Component: phobos

std.array.join tries to remove constness from its arrays' fields on the premise
that it's constructing a new array anyways. However, consider
const(Object)[][].join: const(Object) cannot be implicitly converted to Object,
so the join fails.

In that case, join should just return a const(Object)[] array.
