in that case:

Are you sure you want to create a _copy_ of your data? In
most cases you don't need that ;-)
thanks, now I can go to bed!
You are welcome. Sleep tight!
Thanks, I did.
I definitely don't want to create a copy! I thought .byElement
would provide a range which I assume is a reference am I
forcing it to copy by using .array?
Yes. You're forcing it to read all elements and copy them in a
new array.
I guess foreach would not copy the elements? for example:
foreach(el; slice.byElement)
x ~= el;
But it feels wrong to be doing work pulling elements that already
exists by using foreach. I feel as if I am missing something
obvious but can't get it.
