slice object, ellipsis usage? list[2:4:2, ...] what good are they?

[Janko Hauser]

The ellipsis is to my knowledge only used in Numpy, which has
multidimensional data structures. So in a function which does not need
to know how many dimensions array arguments can have a ellipsis
construct can be used.
