Indexing operator for classes already has a meaning, for generic types. It
is a possibility that slice will become a generic type (see here:
https://github.com/python/mypy/issues/2410#issuecomment-258898836) and this
syntax will make it either impossible or require Slice[] to be different
from slice[] in a potentially confusing way.
