digitalmars.D.learn - Cannot understand some codes in std.concurrency.

In concurrency.d (version 2.055, line 1247 - 1250) , there's some codes related to internal implementation of List(T). " Range opSlice() { return Range( cast(Node*) &m_first ); } " What does this mean? m_first itself is Node *, then &m_first is Node **, then we cast it back to (Node *)? Does it make sense? If we change "&m_first" to "m_first", it still is weird, because in line 1169: " property bool empty() const { return !m_prev.next; } " The list is empty when m_first is null, that is m_prev is null, not m_prev.next is null. Is my understanding of these codes completely wrong, or it is a bug in the code? Thanks.
