do you want to write that code? Why would a.append(1, 2, 3); not be good
enough?
Typically, we can do this with arrays quite easily, especially strings:
arr ~= [1, 2, 3];
str ~= "123";
It would be nice to have another way to do this. a.append(1, 2, 3) would
work , and you can do it in a nice variadic way with:
append(T[] vals...)
And this won't allocate anything on the heap (this is essentially how I
did it in dcollections, see
https://github.com/schveiguy/dcollections/blob/master/dcollections/model/Addable.d#L55).
But most D containers, you would expect to be able to append a range.
This is what I would recommend. It will work for arrays as well.
