/**
 * Extracts from `subject` a string from `start` position up to `end` position. The character at `end` position is not

 * @since 1.0.0
 * @memberOf Chop
 * @param  {string} [subject='']         The string to extract from.
 * @param  {number} start                The position to start extraction. If negative use `subject.length + start`.
 * @param  {number} [end=subject.length] The position to end extraction. If negative use `subject.length + end`.
 * @return {string}                      Returns the extracted string.
 * @note Uses native `String.prototype.slice()`
 * @example
 * v.slice('miami', 1);
 * // => 'iami'
 *
 * v.slice('florida', -4);
 * // => 'rida'
 *
 * v.slice('florida', 1, 4);
 * // => "lor"
