2416 – Slice of typedef'ed array should preserve the typedef'ed type

typedef const(char)[] A;
A stripl(A s)
{
 uint i;
 return s[i .. $];
}
This should work. A slice of a typedef'ed array should not spoil the typedef.

typedef as subtype of const(char)[] just "inherits" methods of its supertype including opSlice :)
which is defined as
const(char)[] opSlice(size_t, size_t)

That's true of operator overloads defined by the programmer. This, OTOH, is a built-in operation on a built-in type form. Therefore the code is valid, just like
typedef int Value;
Value a, b, c;
...
a = b + c;
