The lack of a native slice is the most glaring C fault I think exists
(And of course the committees won't implement it, and of course C is going to remain broken)

I don’t get it, C arrays can be used as slices, no?? Given a pointer and a length, which is how C does any array, works just as well (I mean if you consider arrays without a length a fine thing) as a slice!

But I am also quite happy about how far one already gets with variably modified types and a custom span type: https://godbolt.org/z/rPen5Movd
