Allocating in-place to the end of an array is an optimization.  It's not 
guaranteed to happen, and you can't write code that depends on it.

However, having a slice overwrite other parts of an array because it appends 
in place (the current D behavior) is a serious design flaw.  That is what 
I'm trying to fix.
