I've been thinking about this some more and I don't think it is
possible. An array in D is effectively two pointers either side
of a memory block. When you create a slice you are creating
another array two pointers somewhere in the same memory block.
A disjoint slice array would need more than two pointers -
which is not possible since an array only has 2.
p.s.
An array in D is either two pointers or one pointer and a length
(I don't know which) - but the point still stands.
