Syntax
ARRAY<T> array_slice(ARRAY<T> arr, BIGINT off, BIGINT len)
Returns a slice of the array.
A positive off indicates an indent on the left
A negative off indicates an indent on the right.
An empty array is returned when the off is not within the actual range of the array.
A negative len will be treated as 0.
