General design rule: if you want to minimize traps and bugs, then to represent
a different entity you need a different syntax.

Currently this program compiles:

int[4] a = [1, 2, 3];
void main() {}



While this generates:
object.Exception: lengths don't match for array copy

void main() {
    int[4] a = [1, 2, 3]; 
}


This looks like a corner case that's better to remove from D. In this bug
report there are syntaxes that restore the needed flexibility.
