For what it's worth, it appears as "slice from pointer" in my
index:
http://ddili.org/ders/d.en/pointers.html#ix_pointers.slice%20from%20pointer
Admittedly, one needs to know the concept first to think about
that entry. :/

Ali,
Thanks for your message! (And even a bigger thanks for writing
your book!)
Your book was one of the first D programming books I read, and
learned much from
it.
At the time of my reading, I was too much of a new-comer to the
D-language to see
the importance of the "slice from pointer". This concept is a
hidden gem of the
language IMHO!
But, with my recent needs to mix and match native D with the FFTW
C-functions
in an avx friendly alignment, I was really searching for a way to
keep the "best
of both worlds". The "slice from pointer" concepts is a valuable
one.
I need to go back and read that section of book now!
Best Regards,
James
