libs/python/test/object.cpp says:

bool check_string_slice()
{
    object s("hello, world");

    if (s.slice(_,-3) != "hello, wo")
        return false;

    if (s.slice(-3,_) != "rld")
        return false;

    if (", " != s.slice(5,7))
        return false;

    return s.slice(2,-1).slice(1,-1)  == "lo, wor";
}

I know doctest, and I don't know unittest. doctest works well for this job.
Is there a good reason to use unittest? If you want to use unittest, be my
guest, but you might have to explain what you've done to me.
