In past there was some way to do that:
typedef char mchar = '-';
mchar[] divider = new mchar[5];

Now you have to initialize the dynamic array two times (using a char struct 
with alias this is probably not a good idea).
I have shown this problem, but I think Walter was not interested. Maybe LDC 
will able to optimize away the first initialization, I have an enhancement 
request for LLVM.
