The syntax of static multidimensional arrays is better using C-style I 
think:

int[2][3][4] a; //  means a[3][2][1] is max legal index

int a[2][3][4]; //  means a[1][2][3] is max legal index

I hope D gets real multidimensonal arrays eventually though.  Then the 
need for all those brackets will go away and you'll just have:

    int[2,3,4] a;

In the mean time I've just started www.dsource.org/projects/multiarray 
to which I will soon upload the ndarray code I've been working on.
