Thank you for the release!

Please merge 2 ndslice PRs [1] for 2.072. They are required for 
Mir to exclude ndslice package except experimental 
ndslice.algotithm and future modules. It is very costly to 
maintain both Phobos and Mir versions. So I would like to exclude 
already accepted ndslice modules from Mir. 3 PRs are already 
merged by Andrei, he also reviewed #4780. #4781 is main 
preparation for Mir and it contains mapSlice, which was reviewed 
as ndMap in #4652.
