Lucee doesn't support array slice syntax like Adobe

Description

Lucee has the arraySlice() method but does not support the slicing literal syntax Adobe supports

Syntax: array[ from : to : step ]

Examples:

animals = ['cat', 'dog', 'fish', 'bison']; //All elements of the array writeDump(animals[:]); // Output: cat dog fish bison //All elements of the array writeDump(animals[1:-1]); // Output: cat dog fish bison //Elements from the first index, to the last but one //At a step of two - i.e., returning every alternate element writeDump(animals[1:-2:2]); // Output: cat fish //The array, in reverse writeDump(animals[-1:1:-1]); // Output: bison fish dog cat
