auto a = DList!string();
a.insertFront("123");
a.insertFront("abc");

string[] b = a[];
Array!string c = a[];

Don't work.

It works! Thanks for the quick reply.

You can construct containers from ranges directly:

auto c = Array!string(a[]);

It is a defined container primitive. The first one in the table, 
in fact.

Array does not implement this primitive.

That seems gratuitous. If there's no particular reason it doesn't 
implement it, I would consider it a bug. It is arguably the most 
basic container primitive.

I just wanted to point out:

     auto b = a[].array;

That is unrelated to c, which is a conversion to Array, while 
this is a conversion to an array.
