Where you got that "1"? How to slice it from begin to 7? Looks like an operator overload abuse. Slicing is an array's feature. If a collection doesn't support array interface, it's questionable whether it should support slicing as it's defined in D. By stretching slicing to non-array collections you break its semantics. Good for voodoo, bad for engineering.
