Fixing it so that the sizes for static arrays were read
left-to-right would
definitely be a usability improvement, but even if we were to
decide that the
whole "read the type outward from the variable name" was
unimportant enough to
make the change desirable, it would silently break all kinds of
code at this
point, so we're stuck with it.
The way D declares static arrays makes sense and I was actually
trying to access elements in the same fashion until I realized
that it's reversed. I than found a remark in Andrei's book
pointing out the difference.
Thanks for your reply Jonathan.
