The DLang Tour also uses the term slice to refer to T[].
"The type of arr is int[], which is also called a slice."
"A slice consists of two members - a pointer to the starting
element and the length of the slice:"
Presumably, because whoever wrote that preferred the
terminology used in the D Slices article. Regardless, it's not
wrong to call them slices. It's just less precise, since the
term slice refers to more than dynamic arrays.
The DLang Tour should probably be fixed to use the term dynamic
array though.
