In Python you usually just omit the value:
a[:5] === a[0 .. 5]
a[5:] === a[5 .. $]
Which doesn't accommodate anything equivalent to a[$-4 .. $-2].
you mean this?
a[-4:-2]
Or you can also use None, this can useful because you can put None
inside a variable, etc (while in D you can't put $ inside a variable
to represent "the end of that array"):

I don't understand this statement at all.
neither can I.
I'll posit a guess though.
c = None;
assert a[1:c] == a[1:]
not seeing any advantage over
c = len(a)
