I wouldn't consider anything we discussed an "enormous effort". With
that attitude PowerPC would never be a viable platform. Catch-22.

Sounds good enough to me. We don't even need the length check as
foo[6:13] will simply give an empty string if foo is too short. Might be
good to add a comment to that effect, though.
