Yes you can but whatever you put() into the array is immediately
popFront()'ed from the array. ;) You must use a temporary surrogate slice:
import std.stdio;
import std.range;
void main()
{
int[] array = [ 1, 2, 3 ];
int[] slice = array;
put(slice, 100); // <-- slice shrinks! :)
}
slice.length is 2 and array.length is 3.

Agreed.
