  A patch was once made for using slice parameters; I was not able to
  find it on sf.net, however if you're interested in testing it I can
  make it available on sf tonite after I'm back home.

If the goal is simply to control that not too much objects are fetched
by a query, you may want to use ec.fetchCount() [same API as ec.fetch()]
which returns the number of objects fetched (without actually fetching
them).
