I was suggesting a compromise for array allocation between what D has
now and what Greg was asking for. I'm assuming you can't overload
new/delete for arrays and the fundamental types.

I gotta say though, when I first looked at D a couple years ago and saw
that you gave access to the memory allocation layer with new/delete; I
think I jumped up and did a little dance. (I write hard-realtime code)
