Given that it's a straightforward generalization of the existing
slicing syntax, it sure does make sense from a theoretical standpoint.
Whether it's a worthy addition is debatable though; I don't think
there are many common use cases to convince the core developers to
work on it. OTOH if you (or someone else) comes up with a working
patch, it might improve its chances of getting accepted.
