I guess my confusion came about because in the page about 
interfacing with C, there's a static array example where 
parameters are given in terms D understands:

extern (C)
{
   void foo(ref int[3] a); // D prototype
}

I guess D has no problem translating that into a simple pointer 
that C can deal with. I assumed the same would be true of dynamic 
arrays, but maybe the leap is too far?
