digitalmars.D.learn - how do I create an array of objects as member of class?

Imaginary code:

class Foo { }
class Baa {
   Foo a = new Foo();
   Foo b = new Foo();
   Foo[] l = [a,b];
}

What should I use instead of to it work? Array!Foo(a,b) didn't 
worked either.

I know this works:

class Baa {

Foo a = new Foo();
   Foo b = new Foo();
Foo[] l;

this() {
  l = [a,b];
}

But I'd like to initializa it at declaration time

Keep in mind that those instances are *static* and probably not 
what you expect; modifying a will be seen across all instances of 
Baa unless you actually assign it to a new member.


 I know this works:


Doing it in the constructor is really the best way.

I wasn't aware about this. I'm used to have static only when I 
request so, like using static keyword in each member that must be 
static. Gonna move it to the constructor.

Gonna do so, thanks
