<pre>
a[low : high : max]
</pre>

<p>
constructs a slice of the same type, and with the same length and elements as the simple slice
expression <code>a[low : high]</code>. Additionally, it controls the resulting slice's capacity
by setting it to <code>max - low</code>. Only the first index may be omitted; it defaults to 0.

That execution must be consistent with the <i>sequenced before</i> relation,
defined as the partial order requirements set out by the <a href="/ref/spec">Go language specification</a>
for Go's control flow constructs as well as the <a href="/ref/spec#Order_of_evaluation">order of evaluation for expressions</a>.

<p>
A Go <i>program execution</i> is modeled as a set of goroutine executions,

plain period and slash.
Within an assembler source file, the symbols above are written as
<code>fmt·Printf</code> and <code>math∕rand·Int</code>.
The assembly listings generated by the compilers when using the <code>-S</code> flag
show the period and slash directly instead of the Unicode replacements
required by the assemblers.
