str.d(3): Error: new can only create structs, dynamic arrays or class

What am I missing here, isn't char[] a dynamic array?
Hmm.. Not a common case, but looks like a bug. Or a clever design decision :P
Certainly, you can create an int using new:
int* i = new int;
Why can't you create 'char[]'?
T create(T) {
return new T;
}
int* i = create!(int); // fine
char[]* c = create!(char[]); // error
