1. The ndslice didn't support the extra index, i, in the foreach, 
so had to add extra i,j.
2. I couldn't figure out a way to use sliced on the original 'a' 
array.  Is slicing only available on 1 dim arrays?
3. Sliced parameter order is different than multi-dimension array 
dimension declaration.

import std.stdio;
import std.experimental.ndslice.slice;

void main() {
     int[4][5] a = new int[20];
     foreach(i,ref r; a){
         foreach(j,ref c; r){
             c= i+j;
             writefln("a(%d,%d)=%s",i,j,c);
         }
     }
     writefln("a=%s",a);

     auto b = new int[20].sliced(5,4);

     int i=0;
     foreach( ref r; b){
         int j=0;
         foreach( ref c; r){
             c= i+j;
             writefln("b(%d,%d)=%s",i,j,c);
             j++;
         }
         i++;
     }
     writefln("b=%s",b);

}

Hi,

1. You can use std.range.enumerate or just use a normal foreach:
   foreach(i; 0..slice.length!0)
   {
     /// use slice[i] ...
   }
2. Yes (A 2D D array is an array of arrays, so slice would be a 
slice composed of arrays)
3. Order is correct:

void main() {
     auto a = new long[][](5, 4);
     auto b = new long[20].sliced(5, 4);
     foreach(i, ref r; a) {
         foreach(j, ref c; r) {
             c = i+j;
             b[i, j] = c;
             writefln("a(%d,%d)=%s", i, j, c);
             writefln("b(%d,%d)=%s", i, j, b[i, j]);
         }
     }
     writefln("a=%s",a);
     writefln("b=%s",b);
}
