Comment:

 I noticed this too when looking at the documentation.
 Why shouldn't we be allowed to include the last element when slicing?
 I guess this might be a problem only with the documentation.

 It seems like a more useful precondition would be

 {{{
 0 <= n && n <= m && m <= distance(rng)
 }}}

 In addition, the "returns" part of the text says the result is
 "make_range(rng, n, m)" but I fail to find any useful documentation on
 what "make_range" is.

 For reference, I have been looking at this page:
 http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_61_0/libs/range/doc/html/range/reference/adaptors/reference/sliced.html
