FTR, I think even a library function that is defined as "the equivalent of `append(a[:i], a[j:]...)`" (for example) would provide value. That being said, I also think having this discussion now seems pointless. Any of it will clearly not happen before generics land (or are rejected), which is still at least a year out, AIUI. And even then, it'll probably will be at least another go release or two to see how people use generics and evaluate the usefulness of it. So litigating the pros and cons of a package we can't even write for at least a year and won't have tangible data available to base a decision off of for another one seems futile to me. YMMV, of course.
