I have a dynamic array of dstrings and I’m spending dstrings

that work, while giving me valid contents to the final slot ?
Unlike C/C++, the D runtime always ensures that things are
initialized unless you explicitly tell it not to (via
void-initialization). So ++arr.length will work; the new
element will be initialized to dstring.init (which is the empty
string).

Many thanks, it might give me a slightly better result just doing
++arr.length;
