Neither is likely to happen.
If you want it for your own code:
T[] dyn(T, size_t n)(T[n] a)
{
return a.dup;
}
The OP could also make it a property to make it even more
similar. Perhaps the least amount of work would be if alias
worked on functions (I don't see anything in the docs about that).
The broader issue that it is very easy to mix up static and
dynamic arrays remains.
