This works just as well:

   string[] a = ["Hello", "World"];
   string[][] b;

   b.length = 2;

   b[0] = a.dup;

   a[0] = "HAI";
   a[1] = "WURLD!1";

   b[1] = a.dup;

   writefln(b); // prints [[Hello,World],[HAI,WORLD!!!1]]


Now, without the b.length = 2;, you'll get an array bounds error, of  
course.

I'm just importing std.stdio. I think string is a compiler-defined alias,  
but I
can't say whence I got the idea.
