Description

Documentation has 'slice' under string filters. I needed it to use it for an array. I tried it and it worked even though I couldn't find it mentioned in the documentation. Is this an oversight or an unintentional capability of the 'slice' filter?

Research direction

Start with the documentation entry that lists the slice filter under string filters, then compare its stated scope with the issue's observed use on an array. Determine whether array support is intentional; done means the documentation clearly states the supported input and reflects the decision.
