Therefore
null.length => (cast(Slice*)null).length; which results in a
segfault.
and
[].length => (cast(Slice*)somevalidSliceDiscriptor).length;
That's not how "regular" D works though.

What do you mean ?
Hmm this should be how it works ....
They reason why assert([] == null) holds.
is because base is implicitly alias thised.
if you try assert([] is null), it should fail.
