Why do you need such feature built into language? So many proposals to
implement this feature and that feature in a library, and unable to implement
reftype array?

 We both feel that this would simplify D, make it more flexible, and 
 remove some awkward corner cases like the inability to say a.length++.


You write it as if you can do it with T[new].
