Hi !

I want to add some sugar to D : sometimes it's necessary to use complex start index.

For example:
auto sub = arr[idx + 123 * 10..idx + 123 * 10 + 1];

Proposal is to add a mnemonic for start index, for instance :

auto sub = arr[idx + 123 * 10..# + 1]; // # == start index

# is for example. Maybe it can be @ or some other symbol.

Any ideas ? Should i try to create a DIP ?

this will work but lack of array bundle check.

auto sub = (&arr[idx + 123 * 10)[0..1] ;
