Yeah, I think that might not be such a bad idea. It should be
possible to slice infinite ranges too, after all.
There's actually some discussion on making it so that you
can't. The main problem is that a slice can't be the same type
as the original for an infinite range, which tends to screw
with things. But if infinite ranges end up losing the ability
to be sliced, then other, similar functionality would have to
be added, because you _do_ need to be able to take chunks of an
infinite range like that.

How are you supposed to split a range that doesn't support
slicing though?
You can't just call array() because it might be too big to be
reasonable for fitting it into memory...
