Thank you both.
I have to do math in mind in order to keep my code correct ;-)
IMO, it does not make any sense.
s[start..end]
end - is neither the count of characters in the array slice,
nor the end index of the slice.
it is just the index after the real end character.
It's the same way it is in Python, etc. Also, it makes a lot of things
easier, i.e.:
s[0..x] is x characters long
s[x..$] is everything from index x to the end of the string
