          Issue ID: 23162
           Summary: cannot use new on a static array type that's aliased
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: rejects-valid
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: dmd
          Assignee: nobody at puremagic.com
          Reporter: b2.temp at gmx.com

## test case

```
void main(string[] args)
{
    alias A = int[1];
    new A;
}  
```

## output

> /tmp/temp_7F65DA6E8630.d:4:5: Error: cannot create a `int[1]` with `new`

## notes

- should be accepted
- seems to be caused because of the fix for
https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11581 is applied before the type sema
of the new'd stuff

## proposed patch

NewExp sema is a mess. A medium quality fix is to re-run the NewExp sema if a
static array type appears after the type sema of the new'd stuff
