+1, but with the statements in the function body please:

auto opSlice(size_t low, size_t high)
{
     in assert(low <= high);
     in assert(0 == 0);
     out(r) assert(r.length == high - low);
     out(r) assert(!r.empty);

     import std.range : take;
     return this[low .. $].take(high - low);
}

I think that reads better. For ease of implementation inline contracts 
could be required to come before any runtime variables/code.
