Saves a few lines of code, and looks cooler, it seems that the

Assuming the return value of `byKey` has a length property, using
std.array.array has the benefit of automatically allocating just
once for the result, while your proposed alternative will grow on
demand, causing several allocations that depend on the number of
pairs in `aa`.
Of course, Teoh's `aaToArray` can trivially do this too, but the
naive loop straight in user code is just that - naive.
