+      This exposes the `slice` function from Go's [`text/template`](https://golang.org/pkg/text/template/#hdr-Functions)
+      package. Note that using `slice` will use the `coll.Slice` function instead,
+      which may not be desired.
+      For some background on this, see [this issue](https://github.com/hairyhenderson/gomplate/issues/1461).
+
+      Here is the upstream documentation:
+
+      ```
+      slice returns the result of slicing its first argument by the
+      remaining arguments. Thus "slice x 1 2" is, in Go syntax, x[1:2],
+      while "slice x" is x[:], "slice x 1" is x[1:], and "slice x 1 2 3"
+      is x[1:2:3]. The first argument must be a string, slice, or array.
+      ```
+
+      See the [Go language spec](https://go.dev/ref/spec#Slice_expressions) for
+      more details.
