Requirement is to write some D code (which avoids the GC), that
will be called from C.
So simple approach seemed to be to write D code under -betterC
restrictions.
However, also need variable length arrays - but D Dynamic Arrays
not allowed under -betterC.
So tried trivial example using std.container:
```
extern(C) void main() {
import std.container;
auto arr = Array!int(0, 2, 3);
}
```
compiled with:
```
dmd -betterC -run Array_ex_01v00
```
Which failed with:
```

Error: cannot use try-catch statements with -betterC
C:\D\dmd2\windows\bin\..\..\src\phobos\std\container\array.d(151): Error:

Any ideas how to implement variable length arrays under -betterC?
