Thank you very much for going through the content! I integrated 
your comments and they will be online very soon. I added a 
paragraph for __gshared in the storage classes section and I 
added a sentence to emphasize that slices and dynamic arrays are 
the same. I am not sure about the latter so I might revise it 
after sleeping some days on it :-) Thanks again! - André
