Great! Added to PR's TODO list :-)
This will be interesting because there is no defined idiomatic
usage of
std.allocator. I imagine std.range.ndslice will be the
trend-setter for
Phobos in this regard.
There's the persistent list example that I posted on dpaste a
couple weeks back. I do expect things to evolve a bit before
stabilizing.
BTW thanks Jack for reaching out via email.

After playing with memory allocation I became convinced that
ndslice package should not have any kind of memory allocation
(except opCast to array) at least we will add allocators support
to std.array. The most important function is std.array.array.
Out of the box user can do `auto slice = new
int[2*3*4+n].sliced(2, 3, 4); //n>=0`.
The link below contains convenience functions in examples for
`sliced`
1. `createSlice` creates an GC allocated slice
2. `ndarray` creates GC allocated ndarray copy of a slice
3. `makeSlice` make slice with allocators
They are only examples and not a part of the API.
