Keep in mind that the "length" member of an array is the word size of the 
machine, so that the longest array possible would take up the entire memory 
space :S

Never ever ever ever use printf() in D.  Please.  The spec uses it 
profusely, but that's because a lot of the examples were written before 
std.stdio.writefln() was written.  Use that instead.  You don't even have to 
have a format string with writefln, i.e.

import std.stdio;

...

char[] s = "hi";
writefln(s);
writefln(4, ", ", 5);
writefln("hello");
