Member-assignment for std.container.Array!Struct

[Matthias Walter]

Hi,

about 2 years ago I stopped using D for my projects since there were too
many bugs that hindered me from making quick progress. Since I got
several mails from bugzilla about those bugs being fixed I wanted to
give it another try. Unfortunately, the following non-working code made
me think to stop using it once again:

struct S
{
  int i;
}
Array!S array = [ S(0) ];
array[0].i = 1;

The reason is certainly that the change only affects a copy and not the
true array-member. I remember that there was a discussion about sealed
containers and returning references, etc.

My question is now: Has there been any progress in this direction? I
know that the design of ref's semantics is a nontrivial topic, but on
the other hand in my opinion std.container.Array is completely useless
if not even the above code works as one would expect!

Best regards,

Matthias
