Marco Leise:
This is "just" a syntax ambiguity. a[] takes the complete
slice of the array 'a'. And a dynamic array in D is a slice.
So if you use a or a[] in an expression doesn't make much of a
difference.
Yet in D the only accepted syntax to perform a vector op sum is
to use add square brackets both operands:
void main() {
auto a = new int[5];
auto b = new int[5];
auto c = new int[5];
c[] = a[] + b[]; // OK
c[] = a + b; // Error: invalid array operation
c[] = a[] + b; // Error: invalid array operation
c[] = a + b[]; // Error: invalid array operation
}
