struct Array(T) if (!is(Unqual!T == bool));
  Array type with deterministic control of memory. The memory allocated for the array is reclaimed as soon as possible; there is no reliance on the garbage collector. Array uses malloc and free for managing its own memory.
  This means that pointers to elements of an Array will become dangling as soon as the element is removed from the Array. On the other hand the memory allocated by an Array will be scanned by the GC and GC managed objects referenced from an Array will be kept alive.

  Note: When using Array with range-based functions like those in std.algorithm, Array must be sliced to get a range (for example, use array[].map! instead of array.map!). The container itself is not a range.

  this(U)(U[] values...) if (isImplicitlyConvertible!(U, T));
    Constructor taking a number of items
  this(Stuff)(Stuff stuff) if (isInputRange!Stuff && isImplicitlyConvertible!(ElementType!Stuff, T) && !is(Stuff == T[]));
    Constructor taking an input range
  const bool opEquals(const Array rhs);
  const bool opEquals(ref const Array rhs);
    Comparison for equality.
  alias Range = RangeT!Array;
  alias ConstRange = RangeT!(const(Array));
  alias ImmutableRange = RangeT!(immutable(Array));
    Defines the container's primary range, which is a random-access range.
    ConstRange is a variant with const elements. ImmutableRange is a variant with immutable elements.

  const @property bool empty();
    Property returning true if and only if the container has no elements.

    Complexity: Ο(1)

  const @property size_t length();
  const size_t opDollar();
    Returns the number of elements in the container.

    Complexity: Ο(1).

  @property size_t capacity();
    Returns the maximum number of elements the container can store without (a) allocating memory, (b) invalidating iterators upon insertion.

    Complexity: Ο(1)

  void reserve(size_t elements);
    Ensures sufficient capacity to accommodate e elements.

    Postcondition: capacity >= e

    Complexity: Ο(1)

    Complexity: Ο(1)

  Range opSlice(size_t i, size_t j);
    Returns a range that iterates over elements of the container from index a up to (excluding) index b.

    Precondition: a <= b && b <= length

    Complexity: Ο(1)

  inout @property ref inout(T) front();
  inout @property ref inout(T) back();
    Forward to opSlice().front and opSlice().back, respectively.

    Precondition: !empty

    Complexity: Ο(1)

  inout ref inout(T) opIndex(size_t i);
    Indexing operators yield or modify the value at a specified index.

    Precondition: i < length

    Complexity: Ο(slice.length)

  Array opBinary(string op, Stuff)(Stuff stuff) if (op == "~");
    Returns a new container that's the concatenation of this and its argument. opBinaryRight is only defined if Stuff does not define opBinary.

    Complexity: Ο(n + m), where m is the number of elements in stuff

  void opOpAssign(string op, Stuff)(Stuff stuff) if (op == "~");

    Postcondition: empty

    Complexity: Ο(n)

  @property void length(size_t newLength);
    Sets the number of elements in the container to newSize. If newSize is greater than length, the added elements are added to unspecified positions in the container and initialized with T.init.

    Complexity: Ο(abs(n - newLength))

    Postcondition: length == newLength

  T removeAny();
  alias stableRemoveAny = removeAny;
    Picks one value in an unspecified position in the container, removes it from the container, and returns it. The stable version behaves the same, but guarantees that ranges iterating over the container are never invalidated.

    Complexity: Ο(log(n)).

  size_t removeBack(size_t howMany);
  alias stableRemoveBack = removeBack;
    Removes howMany values at the front or back of the container. Unlike the unparameterized versions above, these functions do not throw if they could not remove howMany elements. Instead, if howMany > n, all elements are removed. The returned value is the effective number of elements removed. The stable version behaves the same, but guarantees that ranges iterating over the container are never invalidated.

    Returns:
    The number of values inserted.

    Complexity: Ο(n + m), where m is the length of stuff

    Returns:
    A range spanning the remaining elements in the container that initially were right after r.

    Complexity: Ο(n - m), where m is the number of elements in r

    Postcondition: capacity >= n

    Complexity: Ο(log(e - capacity)) if e > capacity, otherwise Ο(1).

  Range opSlice();
    Returns a range that iterates over all elements of the container, in a container-defined order. The container should choose the most convenient and fast method of iteration for opSlice().

    Complexity: Ο(log(n))

  Range opSlice(size_t a, size_t b);

    Complexity: Ο(abs(n - newLength))

    Postcondition: length == newLength

  alias insert = insertBack;
  alias stableInsert = insertBack;
    Inserts stuff in the container. stuff can be a value convertible to ElementType or a range of objects convertible to ElementType.
    The stable version guarantees that ranges iterating over the container are never invalidated. Client code that counts on non-invalidating insertion should use stableInsert.

    The number of elements added.

    Complexity: Ο(m * log(n)), where m is the number of elements in stuff

  alias linearInsert = insertBack;
  alias stableLinearInsert = insertBack;

    Precondition: !empty

    Complexity: Ο(log(n)).

  size_t removeBack(size_t howMany);
    Removes howMany values at the front or back of the container. Unlike the unparameterized versions above, these functions do not throw if they could not remove howMany elements. Instead, if howMany > n, all elements are removed. The returned value is the effective number of elements removed. The stable version behaves the same, but guarantees that ranges iterating over the container are never invalidated.
    Returns:
    The number of elements removed
