I'm not thoughtless and clueless, and I've acted in the best 
interest of D.

I asked for input from other developers before moving forward.  
They helped me understand that `rt` is where the core language 
features are implemented.  The code that I moved into `rt/array` 
initially came from `rt`, depends on implementations in `rt` and 
is the core implementation of D's built-in arrays, so it is 
perfectly logical for it to be in `rt`.  I submitted PRs that 
were scrutinized by the reviewers and merged.  Even after 
considering your arguments, I still believe I made the right 
decision.  I'm sorry you disagree and don't find my explanations 
convincing.

Mike
