Should this be supported?
double[8] foo = [1.0, 2.0, void, 3.0, 3.5, void, void,

(it's not supported at the moment)
which reminds me about the proposal to allow declaration of
static arrays with
double[$] foo = [1.0, 2.0, void, 3.0, 3.5, void, void, void];
which is more convenient since one discovers a counting error
only when compiles.
Has a decision been reached for this issue?
Currently in gdc:
double[$] foo = [1.0, 2.0];
fails with
main.d:18: Error: undefined identifier __dollar
double[1] foo = [1.0, 2.0];
fails with
main.d:18: Error: array initializer has 2 elements, but array
length is 1
but
double[4] foo = [1.0, 2.0];
is accepted, which is a bit strange (I think the compiler should
give at least a warning if too many elements are reserved for an
array).
