Having seen quite a few incorrect descriptions of how D slices work

Still reading, but the example should use assertions which pass:
void main()
{
int[] arr = new int[5];
shrinkTo2(arr);
assert(arr.length != 2); // Not expected!
}
It is good form because reading it will describe the outcome even
without comment.
I always wonder about that. One of the issues with assert for people
"feeling" out the language is, a passing assert doesn't seem to do
anything.
For instance, in this example, if you take the code I wrote, and compile
it, you'll get a loud assertion error (proving the assertion runs and
fails).
If you take your code and run it, you get a command prompt. It doesn't
really help you see how it works.
I'm contemplating switching it to a writeln instead ;)
