But in f([1, 2]), it's ambiguous (just by parsing) whether [1, 2] 
is a tuple literal or a dynamic array literal.

You'd need to use a prefix or something to the bracket syntax.  
E.g., $[1,2].  The dollar sign is just an example, but it might 
work because currently $ only seems to be used in slice syntax 
and in inline assembly.  I don't think tuple literals are needed 
in inline assembly, and I think the slice syntax might be okay 
because (unlike C) D doesn't allow the borked 0[arr] style of 
indexing, so expressions like arr[0..$[x][y]] are unambiguous.  
(I.e., $[x][y] is the yth element of a tuple containing x, and 
not the yth element of the $th element of x as an array).
