Description Peng Huang 2011-10-06 21:52:26 UTC 
I wish vala can support below slicing operations.

array[begin:] => array[begin: array.length]
array[:end] => array[0:end]
array[:] => array[0:array.length]

I would love to get this syntax supported in Vala. For consistency, it needs to work with string as well though. In order to get a 1.0, I think we should postpone all – even tiny – syntax changes though, hence let's discuss this for 1.2. (We need to come up with a sane way for enhancement proposals post 1.0 anyways, but that's probably a discussion for the mailing list).
