Is there a way to slice non-array type in @safe?

[Stefanos Baziotis]

Thank you all for your responses. I understand that the compiler
can't ensure @safe and @trusted is needed.. I'm not familiar 
though with all aspects of D and thought I might have missed 
something.

I usually start with the signed version and if in the end there's 
no need for the
signed, I make it unsigned. In this case, at the moment there's 
no actual
need for `byte`. Actually, it only makes difficult to use some 
GDC intrinsics.
