Acording to the documentation the following should be a valid statement:

int[] myArray;
myArray[myArray.length++] = 5;

however, it results in the following compile time error:

'array.length' is not an lvalue

I believe it is an intended limitation, not a bug. I consider it an inconsistency in a language, and thus evil. And if it is done: please document it somewhere.

It is suggest that the section titled "Creating an array of variable size" on the  "Converting C to D" page be updated to reflect the correct way to do this in D.
