shouldn't this throw ? iota(5).sliced(2,2)

[Timothee Cour via Digitalmars-d]

ok good, 'reshape' behaves as it should; but what's the rationale for not
throwing on 'iota(5).sliced(2,2) ' ?

in light of what i wrote above, it's surprising behavior and will cause
bugs. What are the advantages of allowing it to not throw?
