=head1 NAME

PDLA::Perldl2::Plugin::NiceSlice - enable PDLA NiceSlice syntax

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This plugin enables one to use the PDLA::NiceSlice syntax in an
instance of C<Devel::REPL> such as the new Perldl2 shell, C<pdla2>.
Without the plugin, array slicing looks like this:
    
  pdla> use PDLA;
  
  pdla> $x = sequence(10);
  $PDLA1 = [0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9];
  
  pdla> $x->slice("2:9:2");
  $PDLA1 = [2 4 6 8];

After the NiceSlice plugin has been loaded, you can use this:

  pdla> $x(2:9:2)
  $PDLA1 = [2 4 6 8];

=head1 CAVEATS

C<PDLA::NiceSlice> uses Perl source preprocessing.
If you need 100% pure Perl compatibility, use the
slice method instead.
