This is probably too little to justify the compatibility breakage, but is there a motive for the "slice" type to be on built-ins ? (besides people forgot it there at PEP-3000 time?) It is normally used in super-specialized cases, mostly when one is implementing a Sequence type, and even there just for type-checking, not to create new slice objects. It does get called sometimes in numerical code to construct complex indexing operations. -n
