[Bug libstdc++/37347] New: valarray::operator[](slice) const returns wrong type.

[crazydm at gmail dot com]

valarray::operator[](slice) const returns _Expr<_SClos<_ValArray,_Tp>, _Tp>
instead of slice_array<Tp>, this type cannot be casted (with static_cast) to
slice_array<Tp>.

gcc barfs that
"conversion from ‘std::_Expr<std::_SClos<std::_ValArray, double>, double>’ to
non-scalar type ‘std::slice_array<double>’ requested"

This concerns only const version of the operator[](slice), normal version works
fine. So slice_array objects cannot be created using const valarray objects.

P.S. const_cast can be used as a workaround.

The example program is attached.
