I'm interested in a fast way to determine the "storage class" of the
memory
a slice or a pointer point to. I'm expecting some magic along the lines of
checking the range of addresses that the rodata section resides in memory.
Similar to how some allocators or the GC know if they own a range of
memory.
Any ideas on that?

the only query you can do is GC query (see `core.memory.CG` namespace,
`addrOf()` API, for example). it will tell you if something was allocated with D
GC or not.
yet it is not guaranteed to be fast (althru it is usually "fast enough").
i think this is all what you can get without resorting to ugly
platform-specific hacks (that will inevitably break ;-).
