I do find it somewhat interesting that we're considering moving the standard containers to a more numpy-ish view of the world, though (i.e. one where multiple mutable views of a data structure are common in order to avoid unnecessary copying)
Would that philosophy be extended to slicing operations, though?
That's a question I hadn't though about yet. I'm not sure I like it, but it sure is consistent with other view APIs; like everywhere, if you need a separate object, you can place a list() around it.
