this simply prints a newline... I expected a runtime error (or better
a compile time error) but it does nothing ... why?
Probably because it's length is zero and therefore isn't actually a slice
of
the original array at all. It wouldn't surprise me if arr[500 .. 500]
worked
exactly the same way. Because the array is empty, it doesn't really matter
what values you gave it.
Weird, I was certain that had given me bounds errors before, and so I've
been careful to avoid doing it. Maybe that's changed since I last tried it.
You get bounds error in debug, but not release.
The bit about slices says you must not depend on bounds checking.
