When you define dynamically sized structs it's also a good idea 
to wrap the items access with some kind of get/set functions, to 
make the code less bug-prone (and sometimes there is also a 
length available somewhere that those functions can use to verify 
the bounds in non-release builds).

D supports zero length fixed size arrays for this usage too. And 
recently their .ptr was changed from null to their start addreess 
to improve this usage.
