sublist
Format: sublist( list, offset, len )
Arguments: [any] list Input list
(int) offset Starting location of the sublist
(int) len Length of the sublist
Returns: [any] The portion of list beginning at offset
and containing len elements
Note: The offset argument can be a list of
integers that specify a position deep within a hierarchical list.
The first integer in the list is the offset on the first level,
the second element is the offset on the second level, and so on.
For example, the element at offset 2 in the list
[[1,2],[3,4,5],[6,7]] is the sublist [3,4,5]. The element at
offset [2,3] is the number 5.
Examples: sublist([3,4,5,6,7],0,2)
= [3,4]
sublist([3,4,5,6,7],1,3) = [4,5,6]
sublist([3,4,5,6,7],1,100) =
[4,5,6,7]
sublist([3,4,5,6,7],100,5) = null
sublist([[1,2],[3,4]],[1,1],1) = 4
