Olivier Grant:
Is there any way to hide Splicer.array to the outside world?
If your splice is inside another module, and you tag the array field with private, you will receive an error:
auto splice( size_t N, R )( R range )
if(isInputRange!R)
{
struct Splicer
{
private R array;
This avoids your mistake, but also forbids you to use the
std.array.array on a splice with UFCS. Is this acceptable for you?
