I've seen people access string.ptr in code examples. Does that member 
exist and publicly accessible? How about the internals of slices, 
associative arrays, and others?

I am not planning or need to use them. I am just trying to determine how 
much of the internals are a part of the D language.

Thank you,

string is just an alias of invariant(char)[], and dynamic arrays do have 
the .ptr property (http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/arrays.html).
