If figure if I could do something like this, it would work:

```d
static string s;
s ~= FlatElementType!T.stringof;
static foreach (i; a)
     s ~= "[" ~ to!string(i) ~ "]";
mixin(s) var;
```

Here, I'm receiving the shape of the array (```a```), composing a 
string of the actual type, then mixing it in to declare a 
variable of that type. Of course the compiler barfs at the idea 
as coded, but is there a way to accomplish this? Note that if you 
comment out the foreach loop, the variable gets created.
