Hi,
In Common Lisp, there is such a thing as a fill-pointer
(Example 5):

Does D some equivalent?
Fill pointers, combined with the various helper functions (e.g.
vector-push) and vector-extend, perform tasks that D uses slices
for.
e.g. vector-push-extend is roughly equivalent to the ~= operator,
given a non-aliased array.
There are important differences, but the functionality overlaps a
lot.
