Hi!

You're completely right of course, overloading wouldn't work in that case.
I had implemented these functions and tested them for myself, but I didn't
implement the *= 1* in the overloaded *slice()* function.
I'll remove the default argument to fix the overloading, and implement a
check where it has to be 1 at the very least.

Thanks a lot!
