Array-wise assignment on unallocated array

There's an example in TDPL showing array-wise expressions. I've modified the code and removed the allocation. This will compile and run without exceptions:
void main() {
auto a = [0.5, -0.5, 1.5, 2];
auto b = [3.5, 5.5, 4.5, -1];
double[] c;
c[] = (a[] + b[]) / 2;
}
I think assignments to unallocated arrays should throw a runtime exception, or at least give out a compile warning. Compare this to this code which throws a RangeError:
import std.stdio;
void main() {
double[] c;
c[0] = 4;
}
And the equivalent array-wise assignment which doesn't throw exceptions:
import std.stdio;
void main() {
double[] c;
c[] = 4;
}
Bugzilla-worthy?
