Completely off-topic, but a stylistic point.  Putting the brackets next to 
the name is a bit misleading in D, since unlike in C, type decorators do not 
attach to the variables but instead to the base type.  That is,

char * x, y;

in C means that x is a pointer to a char, while y is a char; but in D, 
they're both char*.  For that reason it's recommended that the 
brackets/asterisks attach to the type.

(I still can't quite figure out why you also use "bool [] tp" and "bool[] 
tmp".  Usually people are consistent about these things ;) )
