By making that pointer point to an actual object. :)
arc!(string, string[]) * a = new arc!(string, string[])();
Shorter syntax:
auto a = new arc!(string, string[]);
You can assign it later as well:
arc!(string, string[]) * a;
// ...
a = new arc!(string, string[])();
Preferably, don't assign to the member but construct when the
information is available:
auto a = new arc!(string, string[])("hello",
["merhaba", "hola", "bonjour"]);
