- single: slice
- Slices: positive-length array ranges
- ====================================
- Slices point to a region in memory, of a certain length.
- s² took the concept from Rust [#frustslice]_. Due to
- Spectre mitigation issues, slices typically must be
- positive in length.
- A slice is specified as SliceCap<impl T>(c: T& -> Cap, length:
- nat, p: T \*), where `c` indicates the capability.
- SliceCap<impl T>(c: T& -> Cap, length: nat, p: T *) :=
- 0 <= length <= SIZE_MAX,
- ∀{i | 0 <= i < length} (c . (index a))
