<note important>This macro is deprecated - it may be removed in a future version of Harlowe.</note>
**(subarray: // [[harlowe:Array|Array]], [[harlowe:Number|Number]], Number//) -> //Array//**

When given an [[harlowe:Array|array]], this returns a new array containing only the elements
whose positions are between the two [[harlowe:number|number]], inclusively.

=== Example usage: ===

''%%(subarray: $a, 3, 4)%%'' is the same as ''%%$a's (a:3,4)%%''

=== Rationale: ===

You can obtain subarrays of arrays without this macro, by using the ''%%'s%%'' or ''%%of%%'' syntax along
with an array of positions. For instance, ''%%$a's (range:4,12)%%'' obtains a subarray of $a containing
its 4th through 12th values. But, for compatibility with previous Harlowe versions which did not
feature this syntax, this macro also exists.

=== Details: ===

If you provide negative numbers, they will be treated as being offset from the end
of the array - ''%%-2%%'' will specify the ''%%2ndlast%%'' item, just as 2 will specify
the ''%%2nd%%'' item.

If the last number given is larger than the first (for instance, in ''%%(subarray: (a:1,2,3,4), 4, 2)%%'')
then the macro will still work - in that case returning (a:2,3,4) as if the numbers were in
the correct order.
