To Stream.slice(fromInclusive, toExclusive) or Stream.slice(toSkip, limit) that is the question

[Joe Bowbeer]

Thanks for the example.

In terms of readability, I think skip(offset).limit(size) works well in
this case.

I think slice(offset, offset+size) works fine here, as well.

By the way, slice(start, end) has another potential advantage in that
negative values for the 'end' argument can be interpreted as an offset from
the end -- skipping the final x entries.
