The following doesn`t work:

But I feel that it probably should work. I know we have 
assumeUnique, but I remember awhile ago that some work was done 
toward making the result of unique expressions (like those using 
new) implicitly convertible to immutable, const, shared, etc. For 
example, the following works:

class Test
{
     int i;
}

immutable(Test) test = new Test();

(I realize that this will break if Test contains any non-value 
type like an array)

A pure function is a workaround. The return value of a pure function is 
implicitly convertible to immutable:

pure string[] foo()
{
     return new string[](10);
}

void main()
{
     immutable(string[]) strArr = foo();
}

 A pure function is a workaround. The return value of a pure 
 function is implicitly convertible to immutable:

 pure string[] foo()
 {
     return new string[](10);
 }

 void main()
 {
     immutable(string[]) strArr = foo();
 }

Thanks, that does the trick. Also, is there any hack that I can 
use to build an AA at compile time? I have a module level 
variable that's a string[][string] and I'd like to initialize it 
without resorting to static this.

Unfortunately, this is currently impossible due to the way AA's are
implemented.

I do have a few ideas of how it might be done, but the last time I tried
I couldn't get far enough to actually have it work.
