Is std.container.array more or less an equivalent of C#'s List<T>?

Appending is amortized (IIRC, it doubles the size when it needs more 
space), everything else must copy data. It's an array underneath, but 
instead of using the GC, it uses C heap functions.

It isn't really any different than a D builtin array, but has some 
better performance characteristics in some cases. It's also not safe to 
keep pointers to elements if it reallocs.
