Multi dimensional array question.

When declaring an array, the base type is getting wrapped. When using an 
array, the base types get unwrapped.
Because both forms place the [] as a subfix and in both cases the sub-type/expression 
needs to be contiguous it end up the way it is.

alias int[5] T

T[7] aa;
T a = aa[6];
int v = a[4];

or

(int[5])[7] aa;
int v = (aa[6])[4];
