But that begs the question; why? Don't dynamic arrays always start with

array elements be null?

The default initialization state of a pointer (regardless of type) in D 
is null.

I.e.

```d
Object[] array;
array.length = 2;
array[0] = new Object;

assert(array[0] !is null);
assert(array[1] is null);

array ~= new Object;

assert(array[0] !is null);
assert(array[1] is null);
assert(array[2] !is null);
```
