Yes, I probably should have mentioned this as well. However I did wish to 
give him an idea of what was causing the overlapping. I should also note 
that with the demonstrated method you are able to copy into a slice of an 
array.

copy[1..5] = test[4..8]; or even
test[0..2] = test[3..5]; // As long as they don't overlap :)
