           Summary: All members of an array need not be initialised
           Product: D
           Version: 0.174
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://www.digitalmars.com/d/arrays.html
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: spec
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: bugzilla@digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: deewiant@gmail.com


The spec states "If any members of an array are initialized, they all must be." along with explanation of why this choice was made.

Yet, the following code, _from the same section of the spec_, compiles and runs:

int[3] a = [ 1:2, 3 ]; // a[0] = 0, a[1] = 2, a[2] = 3

Which is correct? Remove the paragraph from the spec or change compiler behaviour to match, changing the comment in the above to "// fails, a[0] not initialised" or equivalent.

This is the first of a number of documentation-related bugs I'll be filing: I'm going to mark them as priority "P4" (defer until next major version) since they need fixing prior to D 1.0.
