Currently, D's variable declaration syntax is consistent and, 
IMO, make sense:

Type Name | Extra Tokens | SymbolName
Foo           *               a;
Foo           [4]             b;
(Foo          [4])[]          c;

[][4]Foo is completely backwards from and inconsistent with the 
pointer declaration syntax. We shouldn't want to intentionally 
introduce inconsistencies.
