I've been thinking about this some more and I don't think it is 
possible. An array in D is effectively two pointers either side 
of a memory block. When you create a slice you are creating 
another array two pointers somewhere in the same memory block. A 
disjoint slice array would need more than two pointers - which is 
not possible since an array only has 2.
