=begin
Slicing of arrays and strings specifying start/length or using a range is not documented well, and often leads to confusion, see for example

<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3568222/array-slicing-in-ruby-looking-for-explanation-for-illogical-behaviour-taken-fr>

or

<http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/1393096#990065>

The attached patch tries to clarify the documentation.
