Alan Donovan 4878b4471b slices: document and test nilness behavior of all functions
This change documents the current nilness behavior of all
functions in the package, and asserts each with a test.

There is no change to behavior, but the postcondition is
strengthened, so this may require a proposal.

Fixes #73604
Fixes #73048
