     writefln("%s.len = %s", arr, arr.length);

if you mean a static array, you can get each dimension using .length:

int[2][3] arr;

static assert(arr.length == 3);
static assert(arr[0].length == 2);

There is likely a way you can get a tuple of the lengths at compile time.

If you mean a dynamic multidim array, each array element can have its 
own independent set of dimensions.
