It would be very counterintuitive if ("world"++ == "orld"), so I don't
think I'd like that.

In C++ terms, an interator is often just a pointer (plus some operator
overloads), and an array of [ begin, end ]  iterators is called a
range. Looked at like that, an array slice in the new scheme would be
an array of two iterators (i.e. a range), rather than a single
iterator.

Or so it seems to me.
