What exactly are the syntax changes/additions are you suggesting?


I think this syntax is better to not support this syntax:
int[] da2 = int[](1,2,3);  // not allowed

-------------------

There are several design problems in the array syntax. Like:

Issue 3849
Issue 4703
Issue 7445


One maybe even bigger syntax problem is related to mixing fixed-sized arrays
and dynamic arrays. This is not supported (this means a dynamic array of fixed
arrays of dynamic arrays):

void main() {
    auto a = new int[][3][](5, 7);
}


Currently the D syntax to create such mixes is incomplete, and I think it's not
clear enough.
