Does 'D' language supports 'C' like VLA?

Ah, ok, then why did he complain that the compiler can't 
determine that the value of szArr is known at compile-time. A 
kind of conundrum, isn't it -- he want's to create arrays on 
stack with their sizes known at run-time, but wants the compiler 
to figure the size of such an array at compile-time...
