Currently if you want to create an associative array with constant values you
have to use something like:


import std.array: assocArray;
import std.range: zip, repeat;
void main() {
    bool[dchar] dcharSet = assocArray(zip("ABCD", repeat(true)));
}



In Python the dict has a static method "fromkeys" that is handy:


>>> dict.fromkeys("ABCD", True)
{'A': True, 'C': True, 'B': True, 'D': True}


A possible similar Phobos function:


import std.array: AAFromKeys;
void main() {
    bool[dchar] dcharSet = AAFromKeys("ABCD", true);
}
