Separate allocation and construction?

[Chris Williams via Digitalmars-d-learn]

If I wanted to allocate memory for a class and then call its 
constructor as two separate steps, while still having the object 
be managed by the garbage collector, is there any way to do that?

I believe that I've figured out a way to accomplish the first 
step, but not the second.

import std.stdio;

class Foo {
     this(string bar) {
         writeln(bar);
     }
}

void main() {
     Foo f = (new Foo[1])[0];
     f("Hello"); // doesn't compile
}
