Other way round. Unlike C++, everything goes before the 
identifier:

--------
import std.stdio;
void main()
{
     int[][][string] foo;
     foo["hello"]=[[1],[2]];
     writeln(foo["hello"]);
     writeln(foo["hello"][0][0]);
}
-------
[[1], [2]]
1
-------
foo is an associative array, the key is "string", and the type is 
"int[][]"
