Subject: Re: string slice elegant way

Mage [mailto:mage@mage.hu] 

#a = 'hello there'
#and I need 'llo there'
#
#a[2,a.size] works, but I find it ugly because the given length 
#is larger 
#than the real length of the result.
#a[2,a.size - 2] is okay, but it is not DRY.
#
#Is there any elegant way, like a[2:] in Python?

is a[2..-1] good enough?
