Hi!

I was not aware of this feature, and indeed, it'd be great to add this to
*std::string* since it would be very close to the python example I gave!
I will add this to the proposal, with the function variant *slice()* remaining
so there is the safe variant (like *at()*) that throws when out-of-range;
and the unsafe variant (*operator[]*) that simply crashes when out-of-range.

Sincerely,
