Because what I need it for is for some data serialization but
if the value is an empty array then it should be present and
if it's null then it should not be present.
Since null is used to say "ignore this" in the data
serialization.
You can use std.typecons.Nullable (or a similar wrapper) to add
an extra "ignore this" value to a type.
and just in case you use vibe.d serialization (JSON, BSON or
other custom ones), there is a new @embedNullable UDA which
treats Nullable!T inside a map as a T or completely omits it if
it's null ;)
