It makes refactoring simpler because there's an easily recognizable text
pattern "tdata()". Once the current refactoring is done it'll be easy to change
it to some other syntax, but currently my focus is on adding type-safety.
And I don't want to start using a C++ feature that isn't used anywhere else in
the code base (not without Walter's approval first). Operator overloading isn't
used anywhere inside DMD, and operator[] implies returning a '&' reference,
another C++ feature not used in the code base (that I know of).
Also, most arrays are actually pointers to an array and I'm not sure how much
the [] operator makes things clearer for those:
Expression *e = (*array)[0];
(*array)[0] = e;
