Sorry if this is a stupid question - I'm new to D but I've been keeping an eye on it for quite a while (and also read the book). Coming from the Java/C# world, not distinguishing between an empty array and null feels strange to me. Is this so for strings as well? ...and in Pedros example, if you assign null to b and then try to access b.length, don't you get a NullPointerException? What am I missing? / Mikael
