While Terry suggested this addition I do not think it is worth it. The entire section is only about strings and this is the tutorial. I do not think we need to show it there. |

Summary
Adds a brief note about extended slicing (
s[i:j:k]) to the tutorial's string slicing section, with a link to the full definition in Common Sequence Operations.This follows terryjreedy's suggestion on the issue:
The note is placed exactly at that location — after the out-of-range slice examples and before the immutability discussion. It keeps the tutorial beginner-friendly by not explaining negative steps inline, while pointing readers to the full reference.
