Thank you. I just fixed this in the source code; it will propagate to the 
documentation on the web in due time.

We definitely do want them. Sorry for taking so long to act on them, but 
it looks like everybody is fairly busy at the moment.

I think that I cannot fix this (one needs access to the servers), but I 
filed a bug so that we won't forget about this.

It says "[pos:pos+n[" with the second bracket the 'wrong way around'. I 
guess the author wanted to denote a half-open interval (everything from 
pos up to, but not including, pos+n). However, I think that's fairly 
confusing, so I replaced it by your suggestion.

Thanks again for your reports,
