IMO, this should really be built-in, in particular, since, in my
understanding, an array is internally represented by the ptr and
ptrEnd pair anyways.
Currently this is not true, take a look at the ABI part in the D site.
Currently it's a pointer and length. Walter and/or Andrei discussed the
idea of turning them into two pointers, but I don't know if and why that
change was refused.
Because it would be a mistake. You can efficiently get from (ptr,
length) to (ptr, endPtr) but the reverse is not true.
