Should we remove int[$] before 2.067?

No they don't, at least not to my knowledge and we use Matlab 
every day at my workplace.

I think what Uri is referring to is the very low resistance once 
sees in the syntax of R, Matlab, Python when going from an idea 
or algorithm on paper to code.

I've always found dynamic arrays in D are perfectly fine for 
rapid prototyping code, however, my situation may be different 
from that Uri.
