One of the biggest issues I have with the current AST is that I don't believe it really gets the "slice" and "extended slice" terminology correct (it uses 'extended slice' to refer to multi-dimensional indexing, but the normal meaning of that phrase is to refer to the use of a step argument for a slice [1])
The two were introduced together and were referred to together as "extended slicing" at the time, so I'm not sure who is confused.
