In the code below, c.D = {1..5} assignment changes the domain of arr. We
expect that to be a constant domain.

  class MyClass {
    var D;
    var A: [D] int;

    /*
    // uncomment this to get the desired behavior
    proc init(d) {
      this.D = d;
    }
    */
  }

  var arr = [1,2,3];
  var c = new MyClass(arr.domain);
  c.D = {1..5};

  writeln("These should be different:");
  writeln(c.A.domain);
  writeln(arr.domain);

Having a user-defined initializer is the work-around.
