Yes, it certainly is self-explanatory.  And, I appreciate your
response.

However, my question pertains to advanced use of the slicing features
which I have found to be not totally explained in the docs.

The use of [start:stop:step] on sequence types is NOT unclear to me at
all.

I'd like to know;

1. what the Ellipsis object or ... syntax is used for
2. what a slice [..., j:k:l] does
3. how slices are applied to object of mapping types

Thank you
