I was planning to use a dynamic array of indices to represent a

"shuffle" the arrays contents? I checked the library docs, but 
came to the conclusion that sorting arrays is a much more common 
operation :)

If anyone has a suggestion on a good way to implement this, I'd 
appreciate it. I don't need you to code it for me ( although I 
wouldn't turn it down if you've already done it), just a 
suggestion of what to do would be appreciated

Question solved, because I am a dumbass.

     import std.random, std.stdio;

     void main() {
         auto arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
         arr.randomShuffle;
         arr.writeln;
     }
