> Now, we have two kind of field syntax in log format:
> {code}
> (1) simple; syntax: '%<field>', for example: %<cqu>
> (2) container field, syntax '%<{field}container>', for example: 
> %<{Referer}cqh>.
> {code}
> I'm going to introduce slice notation, so that we can easy to limit the 
> length of filed's output. With slice notation, the filed syntax will looks 
> like:
> {code}
> (1) '%<field[start:end]>'
> (2) '%<{field}container[start:end]>'
> {code}
> In both forms, slice notation can be omitted, which means the whole field. 
> But with one limitation: slice notation makes sense only when the field is 
> string type. 
> We can see the syntax of slice notation from Python, Golang, it's pretty 
> simple:
> {code}
> [start:end] # items start through end-1
> [start:]    # items start through the rest of the array
> [:end]      # items from the beginning through end-1
> [:]         # the whole array(by default)
> {code}
> For example, {code}'%<cqh[0:30]>'{code} means the first 30 characters of 
> <cqh>.
