Slice notation is of the form [start:stop:step]. start defaults to the
start of the sequence, stop to the end, and step to 1.

So a slice of [::-1] returns the full sequence in reverse, stepping
back one character at a time from the end of the sequence to the
beginning.

The only mention I could find was http://docs.python.org/dev/3.0/library/functions.html#slice
