Thanks for bringing this to my attention, Per.

The core idea is to have __traits "primitive and ugly" and std.traits "convenient and nice". From that viewpoint, if isArray can be implemented as a library feature using primitives provided by traits, there is no need for making it.

when dmd already has `ENUMTY.Tarray` alongside

- ENUMTY.Tsarray and
- ENUMTY.Taarray

Justifying the feature by means of a detail in the compiler implementation is definitely undesirable.

and std.traits already has a wrapper for this at

https://dlang.org/phobos/std_traits.html#isDynamicArray

?

If the wrapper works well, use it and move on.


Thanks,

Andrei
