Just to be clear, this issue is NOT invalid. It's just that your proposed solution doesn't work.

An implementation that could work is:

T[] uninitializedArray(T)(size_t n)
{
    T[] buff; //Declare buff.

    //Use the GC to do an Appendable allocation
    buff.reserve(n);

    //Slice out of bounds....
    buff = buff.ptr[0 .. n];

    //And tell the GC what the actual new bounds are.
    buff = assumeSafeAppend(buff);

    return buff;
}

This could not work up until now, because `assumeSafeAppend` was not nothrow. It's not nothrow anymore, but it's not yet pure either, so it still isn't useable.
