[issue1617699] slice-object support for ctypes Pointer/Array

[Thomas Wouters]

Thomas Wouters added the comment:

Hmmm.... Well, that's fine by me, but it changes current behaviour, and
in a way that ctypes own testsuite was testing, even ;) (it does, e.g.,
'p[:4]' in a couple of places.) Requiring the start always would
possibly break a lot of code. We could make only the start (and step)
optional, and the start only if the step is positive, perhaps? That
would change no existing, sane behaviour.
