This requires special case logic with slicing, since slice(None, -0) is the same as slice(None, 0).","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,57254455

I actually prefer @shoyer's original method names and API. I also think this would be a good first issue. ,"{""total_count"": 1, ""+1"": 1, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,57254455

My inspiration for these names was the `head()` and `tail()` methods in pandas, which are quite convenient. But it's not entirely clear how/if these generalize cleanly to N-dimensions. I suppose `take_first` and `take_last` could be an improvement over `head`/`tail`.
