Functions are syntax sugar. :)

import std;

void* inittedArray(T)(T value, size_t count) {
     auto arr = new T[count];
     arr[] = value;
     return arr.ptr;
}

void main() {
     auto v = inittedArray(0.1f, 5);

     // or something a little crazy:
     auto v2 = 0.1f.repeat(5).array.ptr.to!(void*);
}
