Slice expressions construct a substring or slice from a string, array, pointer
to array, or slice. There are two variants: a simple form that specifies a low
and high bound, and a full form that also specifies a bound on the capacity.

constructs a slice of the same type, and with the same length and elements as the simple slice
expression <code>a[low : high]</code>. Additionally, it controls the resulting slice's capacity
by setting it to <code>max - low</code>. Only the first index may be omitted; it defaults to 0.

As for simple slice expressions, if <code>a</code> is a pointer to an array,
<code>a[low : high : max]</code> is shorthand for <code>(*a)[low : high : max]</code>.
If the sliced operand is an array, it must be <a href="#Address_operators">addressable</a>.

The indices are <i>in range</i> if <code>0 &lt;= low &lt;= high &lt;= max &lt;= cap(a)</code>,
otherwise they are <i>out of range</i>.
A <a href="#Constants">constant</a> index must be non-negative and representable by a value of type
<code>int</code>.
If multiple indices are constant, the constants that are present must be in range relative to each
other.
If the indices are out of range at run time, a <a href="#Run_time_panics">run-time panic</a> occurs.
