Simplest way to create an array from an associative array which its contains keys and values?

For example if i have an associative array like this:

["one":"1", "two":"2"]

What's the easiest way to create a dynamic array that looks like this:

["one", "1", "two", "2"]

I know it can be done via a loop, but is there a more idiomatic way to achieve this?

As someone with little experience with functional programming, I am just curious - having browsed through the thread - if the various solutions proposed here would really be considered more 'idiomatic' D. Or if they were posted because the OP asked about avoiding the foreach() loop.

In other words while:

    auto range = aa.byKey.map!(a => chain(a.only, aa[a].only));
    string[] array = range.join;

Saves a few lines of code, and looks cooler, it seems that the trivial foreach loop version is very easy:

string[] array;

foreach (key, value; aa) {
        array ~= key;
        array ~= value;
}
