Re: fn:foot, fn:truncate, fn:item-at

The latest version allows

slice($seq, -1)  to get the last item

slice($seq, $N) to get the Nth item

slice($seq, 1 to count($seq)-1) to get all but the last

and I thought that was probably good enough to make the individual functions unnecessary.

Would you agree?
