<p>Unlike arrays, slices are typed only by the
elements they contain (not the number of elements).
To create an empty slice with non-zero length, use
the builtin <code>make</code>. Here we make a slice of

<p>In addition to these basic operations, slices
support several more that make them richer than
arrays. One is the builtin <code>append</code>, which
returns a slice containing one or more new values.

append as we may get a new slice value.</p>
