I think clarifying is what we need to do.  We need to inform the user  
reading the spec that although D calls them dynamic arrays, they aren't  
true dynamic arrays in the formal sense.

array slices is a better/more appropriate term IMO.  I agree it would be  
near impossible to change all references to dynamic arrays, especially  
isDynamicArray.
