My opinion would be fix the problem, since we already have String.sub
to throw exceptions.

Generally, I reckon its nice to have both exception and non-exception
versions of things.

Eg on the project I used String.slice in, I wanted a version of
List.combine, but with the spec of Haskell zip, ie just discarding
extra length. It might be reasonable to add that family too.
