Thanks, Ali. I've actually looked over that already and it's part of the reason I postes the question in the first place. The docs indicate that opIndex can be used for the empty slice on a single-dimensional array, but your text says it's used for multi-dimensional slicing and opSlice is for the empty, single dimensional form. Then, in the thread linked above, H.S. Teoh's post seems to side with the docs.
Additionally, there's the bit in the docs that I missed earlier about the non-templated opSlice being kept for backward compatibility, but the DoubleEndedQueue in your first link use the non-templated opSlice rather than the templated form that H.S. Teoh's post demonstrated.
I've only recently started digging into the different sources of documentation on D to understand the why of things and, in the process, have managed to confuse myself about topics I thought I understood. I'm finding it hard to discern which source is correct and why.
