Subject: Array#slice oddity...

It appears that if you use slice or slice! with a length argument, it
returns an array even if the index is out of range:

  irb(main):001:0> a = []
  => []
  irb(main):002:0> b = a.slice(0)
  => nil
  irb(main):003:0> b = a.slice(0,1)
  => []

Here's the output of ruby -v:

  ruby 1.8.0 (2003-08-04) [i686-linux]
