I passed a proposal of my own to Walter and Andrei, and that is to have D
coders explicitly state the intent of using a slice with the "ref" keyword;
"ref" is already a legal token in D (at least in 2.0) albeit it is only
valid in the context of a parameter list, or foreach argument list. It is
not legal to say "ref int j = i;" in a declaration, for example. But it is a
trivial change in the parser (I have implemented this change as a proof of
concept / language extension research) to allow ref (just for slices): "ref
int[] s = a[1..2];" other than in parameter and foreach arg lists.
There was another suggestion - to mark arrays: int[] is a slice, int[new] is an
array. I think, you'll have problems with const system, .net doesn't have one.
The const system is largely a frontend issue. I don't think that will
cause many issues.
