The web reference tersely says under its *Slice* Operator

Should not the overload of opSlice() with no arguments be
deprecated?
Am I missing something?
Using opSlice() for slicing (i.e., arr[]) is old,
backward-compatible
behaviour.
This seems non-intuitive to me (at least for single dimension
containers) - when you see var[], do you think var is being
indexed or do you think var is being sliced like an array
(equivalent to var[0..$])?
Also deprecating nullary opSlice() would work against defining
opSlice(int low = 0, int high = length).
