Nope, since the second index is noninclusive, [i..i + 1] will be one element 
(just i), and [i..i] is 0.

Well if you want to see if the pointer is null then use "if(array.ptr is 
null)".  Though I'll agree with you that the discontinuity between 
zero-length null pointer arrays and more-than-zero-length null pointer 
arrays is a bit odd.
