##Usage

`sliced` accepts the same arguments as `Array#slice` so you can easily swap it out.

```js
function zing () {
  var slow = [].slice.call(arguments, 1, 8);
  var args = slice(arguments, 1, 8);

  var slow = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments);
  var args = slice(arguments);
  // etc
}
```

## install

    npm install sliced
