It starts with:
     int[] original;
     original.reserve(5);
     writeln("orig cap: ", original.capacity); // 7
     writeln("orig len: ", original.length); // 0

Further down says: "But to discuss behavior we'll need some 
elements."

and immediately proceeds with code accessing original where no 
data has been added:

     auto slice = original[1..$];
     writeln("slice cap: ", slice.capacity); // 6
     writeln("slice len: ", slice.length); // 2
     original[0]++;
     slice[0]++;
     slice[1]++;
     writeln("orig: ", original); // [1, 2, 3]

I don't know where the [1,2,3] comes from.  The first 
original[1..$] will crash. Maybe you are forgetting the actual 
initialization of original with data?
