Bringing up this topic again b/c there was still almost no
feedback on the actual plan. Here is a summary.
- built-in AA is too magic to be replaced by library AA
- provide a general purpose library AA with enough benefits for
people to live with incompatibilities
- add a cheap toBuiltinAA adapter for compatibility of the
library AA with existing code
- make array and AA literals usable with UDTs
- slowly deprecated magic behavior of the built-in AA
- switch built-in AA to library AA
Also we should plan for a std.container.aa to deal w/ all the
fancy generic/specialized stuff.
