I do not understand the meaning of "subscript ranges"? Isn't
this slicing?
AFAICT, "subscript" in the spec just means the range of valid
array indices (it's old terminology from the 70's / 80's).
In which case, it is not true that subscript ranges are not
accessible in D (I don't know about Rust); all D arrays have
indices from 0 to .length-1, so the callee can always access
the range of allowed indices, and the caller never has to pass
.length explicitly.

With this D fulfills, 95% of the "Steelman requirement" partially
or better :-)
