The new slicing definition is only documented in code right now, but you'll
find it here:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/blob/2bbb33df2fa9f87ae73de6924031e1a854756ea1/std/range.d#L1236

To sum it up in a jiffy, the type returned by slice must be an exact type match
of the original.*

There are also special conditions in regards to infinite ranges and opDollar,
but I'll let you read about those.

*Not yet fully enforced due to a bug, but documented that way anyways, and will
end up that way.
