I expected slices to be in D (http://dlang.org/arrays.html)

they are not.
Why the array have to be reallocated after the length of a
slice is changed? It makes slices useless.
Here a little example (it fails):
void testSlices() {
int[] dArr = [10, 11, 12];
int[] dSlice = dArr[0..2];
dSlice.length++;
assert(dArr[2]==dSlice[2]); // failure
}
What's the use case for this? I haven't found myself ever needing
something like that so far, but i'd be open to seeing an example.
