Here you have my agreement, I tend to dislike any implicit
slicing as well as any other implicit operation that is not 100%
obvious.
Slicing a static array is the equivalent of taking the address
of a local
variable. It's a bug that it's not considered @system.
Sure. But array literals won't get static in @system code. That
is exactly what I am speaking about - pursuing correctness of
@safe severely harms @system. It never was advertised that way.
Was it meant to?
