Best way to reference an array in a child class...

[captain_fid]

>>    this() {items = [ {10, "first"}, {20, "second"}];}

strangely enough, when modeling this the first time (using items 
as a class) and 'new item() syntax) there was no real issue.

I thought using a static array of structs in the children would 
be more efficient when instantiating the objects. Never mind 
whether its true or not - Speed isn't a really a concern, 
learning is.
