I think we've demonstrated the slicing semantics well.
Indeed. And i never questioned this aspect. I merely wanted
to inform the lurkers that the else-clause was handling a
non-action, and therefore, could be omitted.
Your original statement sounded like, "The else clause can never be
executed," which would have been in direct opposition to the point, that
slicing outside the limits would produce an empty list, not an
exception. I'm not sure why you are certain that there's never a reason
to execute code in that case.
Perhaps I have a simulation on a conceptually infinite line, but only
store the actual points needed. The "non action" would be to extend the
line.
