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

alloca is bug-prone and unsafe, and if you want to create a 2D 
array on the stack it's not good enough.
They are uncommonly used because they are not supported by the D 
compiler, and it doesn't track the memory ownership well enough.
But a well designed system language needs to push programmers to 
use the stack as much as possible.
