--- Comment #1 from Nicholas Wilson <iamthewilsonator at hotmail.com> ---
this is the role of std.experimental.allocator.StackFront and friends (e.g.
InSituRegion), there is probably room for runtime choice of StackFront and
InSituRegion such that there is no stack allocation if the length exceeds the
InSituRegion size.

Perhaps the compiler should point users to this once it is made
non-experimental, but this should not be a language feature as it is unsafe and
may inadvertently blow the stack.
