This led me to try:

So, in effect, None is acting as a place holder for that final
position in slices. Also, I would never have thought to be able to
use a logical "or" inside an index in Peter's "[:-i or None]".
Yah, like the default value for many missing parameters. When you don't need an
expression after the ":" you can of course write:
mylist[:]
much like writing a function "def f(x, y=None)"; None is a sentinel value -
specially recognised as nor in the normal domain for that value.
