Destroy.
Why does the internal representation have to be the same for a managed
port and native D? Also, how does the second representation work
exactly? Not all slices extend to the end of the memory block.
I don't really feel strongly about the memory requirements for slices,
but 12 / 24 bytes is starting to feel a little bulky. I am not
intimately familiar with druntime, but OTOH and AFAICS, the additional
pointer should also allow faster retrieval of the slice's capacity.
(though the compiler should IMHO implement specific optimizations for ~=
in loops anyway.)
