The primary expression

<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.
