--- Comment #1 from Andrei Alexandrescu <andrei at metalanguage.com> 2010-11-26 11:36:34 PST ---
This enhancement's importance is raised by the fact that array literals have
dynamic length by default, so simply writing

auto a = [1,2,3,4];

won't make a of type int[4].

I think using "[$]" is the most sensible option. The special meaning of
"length" inside array brackets needs to be eliminated anyway, and "[auto]" may
confuse people into thinking it's an associative array.
