Not quite. You'll note that I am creating the elements in the
associative array, not just iterating over them; some of them
just happen to be duplicates. FWIW: That foreach happens to be
over an input stream.
I'm presently trying to create the value of a key in an
associative array if it does not exist, and then maintain a

it seems really crufty and I feel that there must be a cleaner

In other words:

Still unresolved, but a thought:
I decided to take a step back and try to link with C on Linux
first. I found out that if I did the linking step with dmd things
worked, but not with gcc. The reason then became apparent: dmd

It's quite interesting that D's concept of r-values seems less

better thought out solution.
What actually fails is the initialization of 'a'.
Add another
