wondering if there is a clever way to make this work.

 Hmmm. Wouldn't just returning an inout of the Slice work? 
Otherwise you'll get inner template instantiation and that can be 
annoying

     inout(Slice) opSlice(size_t a, size_t b) inout
     {
         return cast(inout(Slice)) Slice(ptr+a, b-a);
     }
