What is an example of a slicing using a "slice_list"?

There's nothing in the stdlib that uses it IIRC, but for instance a
matrix package could allow you to do:
a = Matrix(12,12,12) #make a 3D cubic matrix of all 0s
print( a[4,2,6] ) #get an item from the matrix using slice_list syntax
print( a[4][2][6] ) #another way to get the same item
Ah sure, I was misreading it.
It is just enabling NumPy style indexing.
I was assuming that it was describing a legitimate
way so slice sequences generally.
Thanks,
