digitalmars.D.learn - Does reserve() preallocate for futher appends too?

isn't clear for me if reserve() does preallocate memory so that 
that operator like arr ~= x can use previously allocate memory by 
reserve() or it's just used in slices like b = arr[x .. y]?

Slicing never allocates memory. reserve extends the capacity for the ~= operator.
