[SNIP] Let's start bikeshedding. What are your ideas about names and the order of arguments of two following functions? 1. Takes a slice object, returns it's start, stop and step as Pyssizet values. Can fail.

start, stop, step

2. Takes slice's start, stop, step, and the length of the sequence (all are Pyssizet), returns adjusted start, stop, and the length of sliced subsequence (as Pyssizet). Always success. length, start, stop, step No specific ideas on names.

Thank you for your response Brett.
