size_t length();

void length(size_t len);

T[] opOpAssign(T[] arr);

T[] opOpAssign(T element);

// Backing array.
void[] backing;

// Wrap the backing array for use as an S[].
struct S
{
    ubyte b;
    hash_t h;
}

auto s_array = VoidBufferAsArrayOf!(S)(&backing);

// Append some elements.
s_array ~= S();
s_array ~= [S(), S(), S()];

// Resize the array.
s_array.length = 2;

// Iterate over the elements.
foreach ( e; s_array.array() ) { }
