So simple syntax question, how do I make an array slice of 
function pointers?

I just have no idea where to put the [] on something like

      void function() nothrow pure  nogc  safe arrayName;

Or should I just alias it and make an array of the alias?

      alias f = void function() nothrow pure  nogc  safe;
      f[] arrayName;

yet

  void function() nothrow pure  nogc  safe [2]arrayName;

is perfectly fine too.=

Ahh, guess that makes sense, I kept trying to put the [] over 
near function()... looks weird as hell though. I really wish you 
could put types in parens, I feel like things like this would 
make way more sense if you could write

      (void function() nothrow pure  nogc  safe)[] arrayName;

Reading it, that makes wayyy more sense to me, to bad I can't 
write this...

attributes are the parts of the type. and the rule is really simple: put=20
"[]" array declaration immediately left of the array name. ;-)

i agree, this is somewhat easier to read. but it requires grammar=20
changes, i believe, and dunno what consequences that may have. yet it may=20
worth filling a ER.=
