I was expecting the length field to get in the way, but it
didn't seem to.
If you pass a fixed-sized array by ref it only passes the
pointer. The length is not passed, it's a compile-time known
value.
My question is, can I rely on this? Is there a guarantee that a

Given the following declarations in C:
typedef int foo_t[3];
void take_foo( foo_t );

that it may be used the same way in D as in C:
alias foo_t = int[3];
Given that on the C side, foo_t[3]
