Then I did what was needed, but didn't check it in.  Here it is.

+ Special method: \method{indices} takes an single integer argument
+ \var{length} and computes information about the extended slice that
+ the slice object would describe if applied to a sequence of
+ \var{length}.  It returns a tuple of three integers; respectively
+ these are the \var{start} and \var{stop} indices and the \var{step} or
+ stride length of the slice.  Missing or out-of-bounds indices are
+ handled in a manner consistent with regular slices.
