You can construct containers from ranges directly:

auto c = Array!string(a[]);

This seems obvious, but it is not actually true.

It is a defined container primitive. The first one in the table, 
in fact.

I just wanted to point out:

auto b = a[].array;

That is unrelated to c, which is a conversion to Array, while 
this is a conversion to an array.

Array does not implement this primitive.

That seems gratuitous. If there's no particular reason it doesn't 
implement it, I would consider it a bug. It is arguably the most 
basic container primitive.
