```
void main()  safe
{
    int[3] a;
    (cast(uint[3]) a)[0] = 20; // allowed 
    assert(a[0] == 20); // passes

    (cast(uint[3]) a) = [30, 40, 50]; // Deprecation: cast from `int[3]` to
`uint[3]` cannot be used as an lvalue in  safe code
    assert(a[0] == 30);
}
```

Either both should compile, or neither.
