Josh Rosenberg added the comment:

I will admit, on further consideration, a dedicated sequenceview might work 
more nicely. islice's interface is limited by its generality; since it doesn't 
assume a length, you can't use a negative value for end.

Does anyone think a general sequenceview class would make sense (or a 
sequenceview function that returns either a general sequenceview or a 
memoryview, depending on what the underlying type is)? Might make an 
interesting project, whether or not islice is improved.
