Is "auto t=T();" not the same as "T t;"?

The same rules as other uses of dynamic arrays...

In that case, there is a single instance of [A.init]. All A.a members 
point to it through their .ptr .length members.

In that case, there is still a single instance of [A.init], which gets 
copied to each A.a member because static arrays don't have .ptr to point 
to any member. Static arrays are "just elements side by side."

In other words, there is no option but to copy to static arrays; they 
can't point to elements and they don't have any problem in this case.
