Most interesting IMO though is the question when the slicee's pointer is to be loaded. This is only relevant if the base is an lvalue and may therefore be modified when evaluating the bound expressions. Should the returned slice be based on the slicee's buffer before or after evaluating the bounds expressions? This has been triggered by https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/issues/1433 as LDC loads the pointer before evaluating the bounds.
Evaluation order should be strictly left-to-right. DMD and GDC get it wrong here.
