The type of arr is int[], which is a slice.

Based on those two web pages it appears that the name for a
dynamic array <reference?> in D is "slice". That is, anytime
you have a dynamic array (even a null reference version) it is
called a slice. Is that correct?
Not really, cause you can take a "slice" of a linked list (though
inefficiently), but a linked list isn't an array. You can also
take a "slice" of a stack allocated array.
