Which is amazing. It's a simple, backwards compatible solution to buffer overflows. I know it works because it's been used in D for 20 years and has made buffer overflows a thing of the past.

It's also nice because it implicitly documents the difference between a pointer to a single object and a pointer to an array of objects. Just this is a huge win, when used consistently.
