You're passing two iterators. In order to implement slice(), you'd need 
to iterate over the list, counting the items, then detach, find the new 
two iterators, then do the slice(). That makes an O(M) operation into an 
O(2N) operation, M being the number of sliced entries (it was O(1) in 
C++98), N the size of the list.
