[issue24379] slice.literal notation

[Steven D'Aprano]

Steven D'Aprano added the comment:

I'm with Serhiy, I don't think we need a "literal", just make slice itself indexable:

reverse = slice(None, None, -1)
reverse = slice[::-1]

The only question in my mind is what slice should do when given just a single index:

slice[0]

I suppose that should be a ValueError?
