I don't understand why that syntax exists. I always write it like this:

   auto foo = Foo("a");

This is a way:

   Foo[] foos = [Foo("a")];

Or:

   import std.stdio;
   import std.algorithm;
   import std.range;
   import std.conv;
   auto arr = iota(10).map!(i => Foo(i.text)).array;
   writeln(arr);
