I'd agree, except sometimes you need a T, any T, for when you want to create a
"pre-sized" array for stuffing results into by index:
for i in ... {
a[i] = ...
}
Simply saying "var a =[T](); a.reserveCapacity()" doesn't cut it because it'll
still crash if you try to store anything in a[i] without somehow putting at
least i+1 elements in the array first.
