Actually, meant to ask earlier, but
"[...in .NET,] System.Array and System.ArraySegment are distinct,
unrelated types. In D arrays slices are indistinguishable from arrays
and this creates the problems that I mentioned in the interview."
Is this discussed somewhere?
The idea of slices and arrays being distinct types does seem to have
advantages. I've seen a couple of mentions of this lately, but has there
been a *rigorous* discussion?
