Jonathan is right. what this PR does is changing one (somewhat

Thanks for adding your opinion - it's good to see more support
for Jonathan's side.
Don't think I'm being flippant, but I have trouble interpreting
such feedback, because D's dynamic array semantics ARE
complicated. So if I happened
to succeed in making a clear, accurate description of how it
works, I would expect it to take many readers from an inaccurate,
overly-simplistic understanding to an accurate (but unfortunately
more complex) one.
I have cause to question this - the docs themselves had some
important misunderstandings - clear errors.
It's possible that this was cruft and the authors never had those
misunderstandings themselves - but some of their readers
certainly did.
