How do you make a slice without the last number? You need two
numbers for iota, and you need two numbers for a slice.
For a slice I surely need two numbers. But this should all be,
what I need for a slice. For a iota, I need a maximum, which is
not provided (at least at this moment) to the object containing
the pointer/iota thing.
On the other hand, I can't live without a "real" object which I
slice, so I need either a iota or a pointer. This is due that all
the slices I have are totally ordered.
