I would do it something like this:

The buf property returns a slice that uses the size member to
give you bounds checking, but uses the ptr of the final member
in the struct to bypass bounds checking on that array.
That way, you can allocate as much memory as you need without
having to use the naked pointer anywhere outside, getting D to
help you stay in bounds.
Yes it did what I was expecting, thank you !
