table.getcolslice - Function

3.2.1 get a slice from a specific columnarray
Description

A slice from the entire column (or part of it) is returned. Warning: it might be big!
In blc and trc -1 can be used to indicate all values for a dimension (-1 in blc is equivalent to 1, so -1 is especially useful for trc). Note that blc and trc should not contain the row number, only the blc and trc of the arrays in the column.
