in python you have a slice object, which you can pass like you would 
pass a range, works beautifully, is more powerful and in my eyes less 
error prone than .. or ... and I think ruby must change it <g> because 
... has one point more than .. but one element less ... (these latest 3 
points indicate I could go on and on ... :-) )
