I'm probably just not understanding the question, but the initial answer I will give is, "just like the proposal for `max_rows`". That is, skip_header and skip_footer are honored, and the remainder of the file is sliced. For the equivalent of say `max_rows=500`, one would say `slice_rows=slice(500)`. Perhaps you could provide an example illustrating the issues this reply overlooks.
