I was talking about _slicing_, not about array indexing (that is 1..5 instead of 5), so you are talking about something different. For a single index I agree that's an error (and that's a runtime error in Python too).

In the meantime nearly everyone has said this is a bad feature to add to D, so I have stopped advocating for it :-) There are quite more important things I like to think/talk about.
