// A many-pointer `[*]T` carries NO length, so it cannot coerce to a slice `[]T`
// implicitly — doing so would pass a bare 8-byte pointer where a 16-byte
// `{ptr,len}` fat pointer is expected, silently corrupting the callee's view of
// the data (garbage length, mis-aligned element reads). The compiler rejects it
// loudly and tells the user to supply the length via `ptr[0..len]`.
//
// Regression (issue 0141): this silent mis-coercion segfaulted the comptime VM
// and failed LLVM verification at runtime; it now produces a clean diagnostic.
