The slice operation makes little sense for an associative array, since the
order of keys is not guaranteed. I'd suggest re-thinking whatever you're
trying to do with this fact in mind.
If you need to preserve insertion order, you'll need to use a helper simple
list to achieve that. You can then perform the slice operation on the
simple list.
