It doesn't make sense to have array slice be part of the BasicType2 rule.  This rule is for type constructs and array slices only make sense in expressions.

They aren't array slices. They're tuple slices, eg:

template T(E...){
    alias E T;
}
void main(){
    alias T!(char,int,float) K;
    alias K[1..$] J; // (int, float)
}
