I also want to agree with the use of a single splice operator. Multiple
ones start looking like perl sigils, which I always considered a terrible
design mistake, and would hate to repeat it.

Re the proposed splice operator and range slicing a-la-python, I think we
can always tell the difference, and we are not closing off avenues, right?
Would just like someone who writes c++ grammar parsers for a living to
confirm.
