Oh, that's a good point. I think it actually doesn't make sense for it
to be sliceable without behaving like a sequence in all (or most)
aspects.

I don't think this applies to struct stat though; I can never remember
the order of the values there, unlike the first 6 of a time tuple,
which have an obvious order.
