* Slices the `collection` from the `start` index up to, but not including, * the `end` index. * * Note: This function is used instead of `Array#slice` to support node lists * in IE < 9 and to ensure dense arrays are returned. * * @private * @param {Array|Object|string} collectio

(array, start, end)

   * @returns {Array} Returns the new array.
