Can somebody give me an example of using an "open interval for the upper limit of a range"?

I came across the following:
In D language, a dynamic array can be considered a range, as the
"range" concept in D is a more general abstraction that
encompasses any sequence of elements that can be iterated
through, and dynamic arrays fit neatly into that category due to
their ability to be accessed sequentially like a traditional
array; you can use range-based for loops to iterate over a
dynamic array directly.
In D language, an open interval for the upper limit is indicated
by using a parenthesis ")" at the end of the range expression,
meaning the upper bound value itself is not included in the
interval.
To include the upper bound value, use a square bracket "]" at the
end of the range."
foreach (element; range)
{
// Loop body...
}
So the following works:
int[] a;
. . .
foreach( i, e; a[0..3] )
{
write(i, ":", e); // 0:11 1:22 2:3
}
But a very naive D coder (me) tried something like
foreach( i, e; a[0..3) ) // Doesn't Compile! Maybe slice and
not dynamic array?
So can someone provide an example of "open interval for the upper
limit by using a parenthesis"
