Does anyone know of a way to reference a partial array?
By this I mean effectly create an array description which is an overlay
of the existing array?

i.e., something like:

	int[]	vec = new int[20];
	int[]	sub = vec[10..15];

where sub is *not* a copy of the elements of vec, but is 
a means of accessing the elements of vec[10..15]?

It seems like this should be legal, since it would obey all
bounds and type checking, but I can't figure out a way to do it.
