alloca is bug-prone and unsafe, and if you want to create a 2D array on
the stack it's not good enough.
They are uncommonly used because they are not supported by the D
compiler, and it doesn't track the memory ownership well enough.
But a well designed system language needs to push programmers to use the
stack as much as possible.
It would be nice if alloca could be wrapped so it could be made safe(r).
