"These words assume the sequence index given is within bounds; if it is not, memory corruption can occur. Great care must be exercised when using these words. First, make sure the code in question is actually a bottleneck; next, try improving the algorithm first. If all else fails, then the unsafe sequence words can be used."
$nl
"There is a very important invariant these word must preserve: if at some point in time, the length of a sequence was " { $snippet "n" } ", then any future lookups of elements with indices below " { $snippet "n" } " must not crash the VM, even if the sequence length is now less than " { $snippet "n" } ".

"There are two ways to extract a subrange of elements from a sequence. The first approach creates a new sequence of the same type as the input, which does not share storage with the underlying sequence. This takes time proportional to the number of elements being extracted. The second approach creates a " { $emphasis "slice" } ", which is a virtual sequence (see " { $link "virtual-sequences" } ") sharing storage with the original sequence. Slices are constructed in constant time."
$nl
"Some general guidelines for choosing between the two approaches:"
{ $list
  "If you are using mutable state, the choice has to be made one way or another because of semantics; mutating a slice will change the underlying sequence."
  { "Using a slice can improve algorithmic complexity. For example, if each iteration of a loop decomposes a sequence using " { $link first } " and " { $link rest } ", then the loop will run in quadratic time, relative to the length of the sequence. Using " { $link rest-slice } " changes the loop to run in linear time, since " { $link rest-slice } " does not copy any elements. Taking a slice of a slice will “collapse” the slice so to avoid the double indirection, so it is safe to use slices in recursive code." }
  "Accessing elements from a concrete sequence (such as a string or an array) is often faster than accessing elements from a slice, because slice access entails additional indirection. However, in some cases, if the slice is immediately consumed by an iteration combinator, the compiler can eliminate the slice allocation and indirect altogether."
  "If the slice outlives the original sequence, the original sequence will still remain in memory, since the slice will reference it. This can increase memory consumption unnecessarily."
