Hi everyone,

I've stumbled on another possible bug:
-----------------
import std.stdio;
import std.conv;

void main() {
     "[  \"test\"  ]".to!(dstring[]).writeln;
}
-----------------

It gives following error:
-----------------
/dlang/dmd/linux/bin64/../../src/phobos/std/conv.d(222): Error:

Any idea why we don't support dstring/string -> dstring[] 
conversion?
Funny enough, wstring and simple string to wstring[] is working 
as expected.

Thank you,
Alexandru.
