The abstraction is the concept of a one-dimensional array (a vector or a
sequence). Slicing such an object -- taking a subsequence -- seems a
very natural operation to me, even on the abstraction level.

Why would you want to have a non-contiguous representation for
one-dimensional arrays? Perhaps to make "unbounded" (extensible) arrays?
