Is there a specific function in to empty a builtin D array or 
should I just do

     auto x = [1,2,3];
     x = [];

I'm asking because std.container.Array has the member .clear() 
and I would like my code to compatible with both builtin arrays 
and std.container.Array. If not is there an con to using x = [] 
for std.container.Array aswell?

I can't find any clear() function in std.algorithm nor std.range.

Thanks.

I believe C++ programmers would find a tiny wrapper function, say 
clear(), in std.algorithm or perhaps even D array builtin for 
this nice from a portability point of view.
