--- Comment #1 from anonymous4 <dfj1esp02@sneakemail.com> ---
I'd say the array should be loaded before evaluation of slice arguments. For
example you can't resolve length before loading the array. So asserts should be
assert(r1 == [ 1 ]); assert(r2 == [ 1 ]);
How does it work with function pointers?

Not sure what you mean by 'loading the array'. The base expression evaluates to a slice, a pointer+length pair, in these 2 cases either to a variable directly or a reference to it, i.e., in both cases an lvalue representing a slice in memory. Length/pointer may then be loaded independently from the slice in memory, but *when* the loads happen is clearly crucial and currently inconistent.

That's the loading I talk about.
