If you're going to nitpick, then it's implemented as a ulong
(32-bit length | 32-bit ptr) in DMD and as a struct in GDC...
This makes a difference for return values. Or when debugging.
And it definitely will later, when D supports 64-bit as well.

But most of the time, you can just use .length and .ptr :-)
