I am currently approaching arrays in a absolute manner, like for setting a 
value:
---
private template indexAssign(T: T[])
{
  void indexAssign(ref T array, BaseType!(T) value, int[] indices)
  {
    static if( is( typeof(array[0]) == typeof(value)))
    {
      array[indices[0]] = value;
    }
    else
    {
       indexAssign!(T)( array[indices[0]], value, indices[1..$]);
    }
  }
}

Maybe a more relative approach makes all these absolute templates obsolete, 
like:
---
int[][][] array;
int* walker; // what is the correct type to do something like this?
walker = array;
walker = right(walker,3); // [[],[],[]]
walker = up(walker); // [[],[],[[]]]
walker =right(walker,1); // [[],[],[[],[]]]
walker =up(walker); // [[],[],[[],[[]]]]
&walker = 6; // [[],[],[[],[[6]]]]
---

How do people normally generate and access their arrays while parsing?
Maybe after the parsing process?
