Not that you'll get bitten by it in this case but in D the 
pointer declarator * is left associative.

i.e. in C

  int *pInt, Int; // "Int" is int not an int*
  int *pInt, Int[3]; // Int is a static array of 3 ints.
but in D

misleading:
  int *pInt, Int; // Int is an int*!!

wrong:
  int *pInt, three_Ints[3]; // Error cannot mix declared types

not misleading
int* pInt, pInt2; // BOTH int*

int*pInt; //pointer to int
int[3] three_Ints; // static array of 3 ints.
