Unfortunaltey, You were dreaming.

end was proposed to be a very help tool OR possibly negative indexes.

myseq = myseq[1..end-1] or  myseq = myseq[1..-1]
I don't support the negative indexing.
It could lead to accidental faulty coding that is difficult to debug.

I do support the idea of either a keyword such as [end] or a symbol
to represent a slice ending.
