An unfortunate "misfeature"

[0ffh]

Assertion:

Initialising a stack variable shouldn't allocate heap memory.

Observation:

I have recently got the impression that this code

   void bar(int a,int b)
   {
     int[2] arr=[a,b];
     [...]
   }

allocates heap memory, although we are initialising a variable
which does not end up on the heap, but on the stack (DMD1).

Suggestion:

I'd hope it would be possible to use a different initialisation
function for assigning array literals to static arrays.

The slightly ambivalent case

   void bar(int a,int b)
   {
     auto arr=[a,b];
     [...]
   }

would of course have a well documented default behaviour. Currently
it's a static array on the stack (not a dynamic array on the heap).

I think this could be called fixing a misfeature.
