`s[a..b]` is a fresh substring of the bytes [a, b) — the modern, end-based form of the C-style `substr(s, start, count)`: substr(src, start, i - start) -> src[start..i] substr(t, 2, len(t) - 2) -> t[2..len(t)] substr(src, i, 2) -> src[i..i + 2] Mechanics: a new E_SLICE postfix (`base[lo..hi]`, distinct from `base[i]` indexing) lowers to a @fn_str_slice prelude (malloc + copy + terminate), emitted once into any program that slices. Two reseeds: add the syntax + prelude, then migrate the 22 substr calls and delete substr. The migrator recognises the common `count == end - start` shape and emits the clean `s[start..end]` rather than `s[start..start + (end - start)]`. examples/strings.ludic gains slicing (now prints 1..9). Reseeded (22673 lines); C-free fixpoint holds; goldens identical; 18/18; vocab + doc-fences clean. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
