But maybe you meant @x[*+2 .. *-1]? And @x[*] would be@x[*+0..^*-0] written out that way.
How far can we drive the dwimmy use of the three values that determine array access, i.e first and last index and length. E.g. would @x[*+0..*/2] roughly slice to the middle of the array? The second * needs to use the last index to care for the possibility of an array with a negative shape. Well or it uses the first index after the array. This would also fit the @x[*+0..^*-0] above. Hmm, slicing the second half @x[*+*/2..*-1] is even dwimmier. It needs the length of the array for the second * to jump in positive direction. Regards, TSa. --
