The spec contradicts itself on whether this is valid D.  But whether it 
is or not, it certainly shouldn't be doing what it's doing.  Which seems 
to be skipping only one byte instead of three for the uninitialised 
elements.

import std.stdio;

const char[3][13] month = [
     1: "Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun",

     writefln(month[7]);
     writefln(month[8]);
     writefln(month[6]);

My vote goes to the sentence

     "If any members of an array are initialized, they all must be."

being the correct one, in which case this should be a compile error.

It's valid D, and a compiler bug.
