  One more fix for the last pull request.  It should really just take ulongs for indexing and slicing.

Aren't indices supposed to size_t? Why ulong?

- Jonathan M Davis

If they were size_t then they wouldn't work with ulong bounds.

Ah. So the issue is that they need to work with ulong on 32-bit systems, and that doesn't work if the type is size_t. Okay. That makes sense.
