This allows implementation of postblit (and possibly other runtime tasks) when
array copying is done.

For example, a[] = b[] will not call any postblits on the data copied.

Once the compiler is fixed, I can generate a pull request to fix the runtime.

This is not an enhancement. postblits not being called is a clear bug.

I checked this with 2.064a(fbd6c9f)

struct S
{
    static int cnt;
    this(this) { ++cnt; }
}
void main()
{
    S[3] sa1;
    S[3] sa2;
    sa1[] = sa2[];
    printf("S.cnt = %d\n", S.cnt);     // prints 3

    auto da1 = new S[](3);
    auto da2 = new S[](3);
    da1[] = da2[];
    printf("S.cnt = %d  \n", S.cnt);   // prints 6
}

Is this already fixed?

It appears to have been fixed in 2.060 by yourself.

It was fixed against Issue 6470.

I just debugged it with dmd 2.063 where it is already fixed. It seems that the compiler now generates a call to _d_arrayassign as soon as the array is made of structs that have a postblit constructor or destructor. I didn't know _d_arrayassign did exist, so this bug is both fixed and invalid. _d_arraycopy was never intended to be used for complex types. _d_arrayassign exists for this purpose as far as I understand it.

This was a LOOONG time ago :)  Certainly possible it was fixed, and in a different way than I asked for.  I'll close it, it seems issue 6470 was a better solution.
