Previously the two hooks were used to differentiate between default-initialised and zero-initialised types. `_d_newarrayOpT` was the common implementation called by both `_d_newarraym{i,}TX` hooks. `_d_newarrayOpT` received an alias template argument: either `_d_newarrayiT` or `_d_newarrayT` which it used to allocate the innermost 1-D array.
