That wouldn't be a bad idea, actually. The current AA
implementation is
so horribly broken, and so wrong in so many ways (there are at
least 75
bugs related to AA's, some of the worst of which are 11037,
11025,
10916, 10525, 10381, 10380, 10046, just to name a few), that it
would do
a world of good to get rid of them altogether, and then
reintroduce a
properly-designed library solution for them.
Of course, in the meantime everyone whose code breaks because
of that
will form a mob to lynch me, so I'll have to survive long
enough to get
the library solution working first. :-P

Built-in Arrays have also problems.
What should we do? Remove and rewrite them also as library
solution?
With Arrays and AA's we would lose a lot of good differences to
C++. Why should anyone switch to D if it is nothing else as a new
C++?
