Don't D arrays do a similar thing? They are not templates, yet work
with
generic element types.
Afaics, improving the language to the point were dynamic array-like
structures could be implemented in the library without resulting in a
bloated executable would be quite involved.
That's an incorrect view of my statement.

You're free to think anything, but I know what I said and your view of
