D - array declaration with type of subscript.

int [300] a;  // declares a as an array of integer of size 300.

How about to make declare the type of the subscript expression for an array ?


int [300] a;
int [int 300] a1;
int [long 300] a2;
int [char 300] a3;
int [uint 300] a4;
int [long 300] a4;
int [ulong 300] a5; 

int [] x;
int [int] x1;
int [long] x2;
int [char] x3;
int [uint] x4;
int [long] x5;
int [ulong] x6;

etc. the specification of the type of the array bound 
indicates what kind of the array subscript expression is expected.

Or even better allow ranges like ada did:

//Stab at D form
range G = 1..100;
int [G] a;

range X = 1..100 extends uint;
int [G] b;
