/**
 * \@ngModule CommonModule
 * \@whatItDoes Creates a new List or String containing a subset (slice) of the elements.
 * \@howToUse `array_or_string_expression | slice:start[:end]`
 * \@description
 *
 * Where the input expression is a `List` or `String`, and:
 * - `start`: The starting index of the subset to return.
 *   - **a positive integer**: return the item at `start` index and all items after
 *     in the list or string expression.
 *   - **a negative integer**: return the item at `start` index from the end and all items after
 *     in the list or string expression.
 *   - **if positive and greater than the size of the expression**: return an empty list or string.
 *   - **if negative and greater than the size of the expression**: return entire list or string.
 * - `end`: The ending index of the subset to return.
 *   - **omitted**: return all items until the end.
 *   - **if positive**: return all items before `end` index of the list or string.
 *   - **if negative**: return all items before `end` index from the end of the list or string.
 *
 * All behavior is based on the expected behavior of the JavaScript API `Array.prototype.slice()`
 * and `String.prototype.slice()`.
 *
 * When operating on a [List], the returned list is always a copy even when all
 * the elements are being returned.
 *
 * When operating on a blank value, the pipe returns the blank value.
 *
 * ## List Example
 *
 * This `ngFor` example:
 *
 * {\@example common/pipes/ts/slice_pipe.ts region='SlicePipe_list'}
 *
 * produces the following:
 *
 *     <li>b</li>
 *     <li>c</li>
 *
 * ## String Examples
 *
 * {\@example common/pipes/ts/slice_pipe.ts region='SlicePipe_string'}
 *
 * \@stable
