How to create an associative array from a range in D

Let's say I have an array of type Record[] and I want to create an associative array from it, key being rec.key. Is there an easy way to do it?

Yes, you can use std.array, std.typecons and std.algorithm libraries and construct this one-liner:

Record[Key] assocArray = array.map!( item => tuple( item.key, item ) ).assocArray;

It takes array, maps it to a tuple (Key, Record) and then takes that list of tuples and creates an associative array from it.
