Strangely, slice is not provided with SRFI-1 but you can make it shorter by using SRFI-1's take and drop:

(define (slice l offset n)
  (take (drop l offset) n))

I thought that one of the extensions I've used with Scheme, like the PLT Scheme library or Swindle, would have this built-in, but it doesn't seem to be the case. It's not even defined in the new R6RS libraries.
