I am feeling funny right now and showing incorrect code. It's impossible 
to fit "Hello World!" in "xyz". As Steve said, don't do that. :)

D's slices are the equivalent of the following struct (showing for int):

struct __Slice__ {
   size_t length;
   int * ptr;
}

So, .ptr is simply a member variable. (Assigning to .length does some 
magic like allocating more memory in some cases; otherwise it is a 
member variable as well.)

arr.ptr is as low as it gets: It is a pointer.
