I think Glenn was asking how would the developers detect the new behavior of slice() if we decide to change it and there will be 2 versions of behavior around with the same method name...
You're right -- silly me! Glenn's usefully trying to detect one slice over the other (and there isn't a way to get a Blob that isn't a file currently).
One tricky thing about the behavior change is that it won't necessarily crash or spew some console output etc - it can just silently serve a wrong chunk of the file/blob and it can be tricky to even figure out what went wrong and where.
*sigh right again. Maybe the name change option is a compromise after all. --A*
