It's it cute when you use a language almost daily for few years,
and then you see a new way to allocate built-in arrays? :-)

Technically, the straight up "C - style" syntax also does this
just as well:
"int[2][] a = new int[2][2];"
Since the last "[2]" gets rewritten to "[](2)"
But when written that way, I find it is not very clear what
happens.
Ideally, I wish we could allocate static arrays on the heap
easily:
"int[2]* p = new int[2]()"
Anybody know why this doesn't work? In a GC language like D, that
has to track "capacity/usage" of its dynamic arrays, there is a
real gain to being able to specify: I want my damn array to be
fixed in size: Don't track any growing information for me.
