It's got nothing to do with the OP's usage, but it will work if
you define a class which returns something callable from its
__getitem__ method when passed a slice, right?  It just won't
work for the built-in sequence types which always return a
sequence when you pass ':' to their __getitem__ method.  

I think. Or am I not understanding how slices and __getitem__
works.  In any case, that would be different that creating a
sequence class that can be called.
