4:6 is more of a soccer result than intuitive ;)
$foo[$a]
should return array(item)
$foo[$a..$n]
returns array of items $a to $n
it seems obvious to implement this for arrays, array_slice() and
substr() both have identical syntax.
you could easily cut bigger arrays into smaller ones then, without hazzle.
any opinions about array slicing in the language itself? IMO all points
discussed for string slicing also apply to array slicing
