core.stdc.stdlib has "alloca" ... it allocates a runtime configurable

ref to it from the function :)
Are you serious? It seems the more I learn about D the more impressed I
become. Thanks for the quick response :)
While D is awesome, alloca is actually a standard C function, which is
why it's in the core.stdc.stdlib package. You have full access to the C
standard library from D.
