Maybe you have missed the last two lines of my post:

I like that idea and I think it will be good to have in D. But I think it's not enough, to solve the problem I have shown it requires a not simple function signature, you need to instantiate the static array before the call point (that's not nice and asks for two names for the same array), to use ref both in input and output, etc.
