The documentation on Arrays states that a static matrix declaration is contiguous in memory so I'd guess this is actually intentional?  Or at least tacitly approved as a holdover from C?  D doesn't really seem to have a strong concept of rank or shape and, from what I could decipher of the grammar, this scenario isn't really covered.

Does this also indicate the need for a rho or reshape function?

A serious language needs should not be sloppy.

I wasn't arguing in favour of the current behaviour so much as pointing out why it might be like that at all.  I agree that it's wrong.

This is obviously a bug because if you make the array static, you get an error. This only applies to non-static array initialization, which has no reason to be syntactically inconsistent.
