I thought of the use of `.__getitem__()` in metaclasses in the typing module.  I feel like this use is more natural and more useful than that.  Should we someday need a slice generic type for PEP 484, the spelling would naturally be `Slice[T]` instead, in my mind.  But `slice[1:10,2]` should be a constructor for a concrete slice object.

Slice[T] vs slice[::-1] is coherent with what we have now for List[T] vs list, etc.
