It's not a reserved word, just in the global namespace.
Put your code in a module.

It nominates the equivalent of Python slices
for substring extraction:
// Python Felix
x[:] x.[Slice_all]
x[1:] x.[Slice_from 1]
x[:2] x.[Slice_to 2]
x[1:2] x.[Slice_range$ 1,2]
x[1] x.[Slice_one 1]
Erick's idea. Point is that the 'slice' thing
is a first class object.
