[issue19087] bytearray front-slicing not optimized

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

I don't see much sense in differences between bytea_slice2.patch and bytea_slice3.patch, because bytea_slice3.patch is not smaller and simpler than bytea_slice2.patch.

I meant that you can continue use self->ob_bytes instead of PyByteArray_AS_STRING(self) if self->ob_bytes points not to the start of physical buffer, but to the start of logical byte array. *This* will simplify the patch a lot.
