Re: dmd 1.057 and 2.041 release

If you compile a program like this:

double[100_000] arr;
void main() {}

With dmd you produce a binary about 1 MB in size, because doubles in D are not 
filled with zero.

So for n-D arrays bigger than a certain amount of memory, can DMD compile that 
code with a zero initialization plus filling of the Nans at run-time?

Note: this produces the same very large binary, I don't know why:

double[100_000] arr = void;
static this() {
    arr[] = typeof(arr[0]).init;
}
void main() {}


While this hangs my compiler, I don't know why:

double[100_000] arr = 0.0;
static this() {
    arr[] = typeof(arr[0]).init;
}
void main() {}
