So I'm looking at creation functions and in particular creation
functions for arrays.
1. Follow the new int[n] convention:
auto a = allok.make!(int[])(42);
assert(a.length == 42);
assert(a.equal(repeat(0, 42));
2. Follow the [ literal ] convention:
auto a = allok.make!(int[])(42);
assert(a.length == 1);
assert(a[0] == 42);
case 1. allok.arrayOf!int(42);
Yes, I know I got rid of the array type as the template parameter, but I
don't think we want to duplicate the problem of not being able to allocate
arrays on the heap that we have with 'new'.
case 2. allok.array(42); // Use IFTI
This mirrors std.array.array
In fact, 2 really should be in std.array:
array(Allocator, T...)(Allocator allok, T t) if (isAllocator!Allocator)
