Research direction

Start with the ArrayBase slicing API and its documentation, then check whether any existing entry point returns Option or Result instead of panicking. Done means establishing and documenting a clear panic-safe slicing approach, with any needed API behavior covered by the project’s tests.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Is there any way to slice ArrayBase in a way that wouldn’t panic? Looked through the docs searching for -> Option and -> Result and couldn’t find anything obviously relevant.
