The following: import std.stdio; void main() { int[5] arg; arg[10] = 3; // Compiler says (of course): Error: array index 10 is out of bounds arg[0 .. 5] } import std.stdio; void main() { int[5] arg; foreach (i; 0..10) { arg[i] = i; } } Compiler says nothing, but we get a runtime error 'Range violation'. Bug or design?
