You're going to have to elaborate on that. I'm not quite sure what you're talking about. And the syntax int[4][3] isn't legal C anyway. It just does what C would likely have done had it put the brackets with the type rather than the variable name, since D uses pretty much the same syntax for variable declarations and therefore pretty much the same rules. - Jonathan M Davis
