Eventually some lint tools will surely be written for D, but lot of people
don't use lints. What I am looking here is a little change in the language. The
full proposal has three parts:
Refuse array lengths that don't match:
int[2] a = [1]; // compile-time error
main() {}
Introduce [$] to infer the array length at the definition point:
int[$] a = [1]; // OK
main() {}
And introduce a syntax like "..." for the uncommon partial specification
situations:
int[4] a = [1, 2, ...]; // OK
main() {}
