No the foo() code would work in D too but in D since we have a
true array type with ptr+length you should not write this kind
of code, which is not @safe BTW.
I appreciate your constructive reply. What about the formal
validity wrt. to
the documentation? Is char *e = p + 10; outside of the bounds of
the garbage collected object? Does for (q = p; q < e; ++q) depend
on the ordering of pointers?
