That's not actually an array per se, that is a key/value map
where the keys are ints.
I understand it's a map, but does my syntax not define an
Associative Array?? https://dlang.org/spec/hash-map.html
That's kinda what I wanted because I want to be able to look up
the Structs by the value of int.
Terminology wise, we distinguish between associative arrays (AA)
and arrays. The former should never simply be called 'array',
otherwise people will assume you are referring to either or both
of foo[] (dynamic array/slice) or foo[N] (where N is an integer
constant, a static array). Change your title to 'Creating an AA
of user-defined structs' and the misunderstanding goes away.
