I like this train of thought, assume is a good term for what you are  
doing, and it is consistent with assumeUnique.

The only thing I don't like about it is you aren't really assuming  
anything about the slice, you are assuming the data after the slice is no  
longer used.  It looks weird that you are assuming something about the  
slice.

assumeEndOfData ?
assumeAllocation ?

I don't 100% like those either.
