Right now, the only way to get an empty AA (as opposed to a null one) is to add
an element to it and then remove it, which is neither user-friendly, nor
efficient. It would be easy enough to create a function which at least wrapped
all that (creating the AA, adding the element, and then removing it), but it
would be more efficient if the AA implementation did it, since it should be
able to do it without having to add or remove an element. It would also be
possible for the AA implementation to do it without using the init property (as
adding and then removing an element would likely require the init property in
order to get an element to add).

So, this enhancement request is for adding a function to druntime which returns
an empty AA without actually adding or removing elements from the AA to do it.
