Deleting all the entries from an associative array is not intuitive. This has
been discussed at the D forum here:
http://forum.dlang.org/thread/iu3ll6$2d48$1@digitalmars.com

I suggest the following syntax should work

int[string] aa;
aa["foo"] = 1;
aa = []; // clear all array entries


At this point only this works. I think this is not very intuitive.

int[string] aa;
int[string] empty;

aa["foo"] = 1;
aa = empty;
