I agree that this is somewhat surprising, but as @fmaussion points out this slicing behavior is consistent with pandas (and Python more generally, nothing that range(5)[3:1] is empty).

slice is a Python built-in, so we can't adjust it. What we could potentially do is add a new keyboard argument to .sel() (or add a new indexing method entirely).
