myarray is a multidimensial array that I want to reduce writing it every
time but D complains that it can't alias it.

I simply want it to do a direct substitution, nothing fancy, just to
reducing typing.

Nested functions work pretty well in some cases:

import std.stdio;

void foo() {
    int[double][char][string] aa;
    aa["hello"]['b'][ 3.5] = 35;

    auto a = "hello";
    char b = 'b';

    // Works like an alias:
    ref theOne() {
        return aa[a][b];
    }

    theOne[1.5] = 15;
    theOne[2.5] = 25;

    writeln(aa);
}

void main() {
    foo();
}
