    (slice x &opt start end)

    Extract a sub-range of `x`. Sub-ranges may be specified via 
    optional arguments `start` and `end` as in `string/slice`.

    If `x` is a bytes or abstract type with a suitable `bytes` method, 
    returns a string.

    If `x` is an indexed type, returns a tuple.
