But only if the language provided means to have user-defined ones. Which is
far from trivial. You need a lot of related types to describe slices
themselves and indicator sets (ranges). Plus you have to provide means to
determine if subarrays overlap in order to implement assignment in a safe
way. And user-defined assignment itself need to be properly done (syntax,
referential semantics of function results etc.)
