Description Iain Buclaw 2014-06-11 08:10:52 CEST 
The following code:

---
auto v = cast(int[5]) [1,2,3,4];
---

Emits the error: conversion to non-scalar type requested.

Which from a diagnostic perspective, is not at all informative - maybe the column support from 2.066 development will remedy things a little better, but at least we should move away from this GCC-style message and be more verbose.

Seems like this is now a front-end error.
