this is part of "be smart!" strategy. anyone who is not smart

doesn't deserve the right to use D. and "being smart" means

It would help if dynamic-array/slice/fixed-size-array and
value/reference/ownership types had been well designed from the
get go.
Inconsistencies in syntax and special casing the typing requires
the user to "be smart", because the language is "dumb". But
making the compiler smarter to fix a dumb language is the wrong
path. The right thing to do is to redesign what is "dumb" (the
language).
