Both actually already do exactly the same thing: .sizeof returns
the size of the variable. Same thing with pointers, class
references, and everything else.
I've hand rolled a function which is working for me currently,
but with my coding ability, I'd feel much safer with something
official :)
You could also do (cast(ubyte[]) array).length.
It just seems like something this basic regarding dynamic
arrays should just be built-in.
What are you using it for?
