Proposed style:
=item substr EXPR,OFFSET
Extracts a substring out of EXPR and returns it. First character is at
offset C<0>, or whatever you've set C<$[> to (but don't do that).
If OFFSET is negative (or more precisely, less than C<$[>), starts
that far from the end of the string. If LENGTH is omitted, returns
everything to the end of the string. If LENGTH is negative, leaves that
many characters off the end of the string.
What the heck is LENGTH?
