If you could make any changes to D, what would they look like?

What about:

void foo() pure {
    int* a = malloc(5);
    scope(exit) free(a);
}


How is that any different than

void foo() pure {
    int[5] a;
}

?

I expect that's how it is actually used. (Perhaps it would be 
better encapsulated in a function along the lines of:

void foo() pure {
     workWithMemory((int* a) {

     }, 5);
}


And then the malloc/free could be wrapped up a bit better)
