However one of the possibilities of D is the ability to generate and execute quite some code at compile time by means of meta-programming; and I guess here's where staticArray() may end up being useful enough to have merited introduction into the std library; not for trivial uses where a straightforward T[n] declaration is preferable, being possible...
The main benefit of staticArray is that it allows the length of the array to be inferred from the initializer (like in C).
