Research direction

Review the documentation for the sliced and copied operations and locate their stated preconditions. Change the strict upper bound on distance(rng) to an inclusive bound, then verify that both documented conditions match the issue exactly.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Hi,

in the documentation the preconditions of sliced and copied should state:

0 <= n && n <= m && m <= distance(rng)
                       ^

currently it says

0 <= n && n <= m && m < distance(rng)
