Is this a bug?

See https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/069f7ec90a6ef/string.c#L4091 vs https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/069f7ec90a6ef/string.c#L4035-4036

Thanks,

It's spec.

It follows String#slice's behavior; it returns "" for str.slice(str.length, 0).
irb(main):005:0> ["a".slice(1), "a".slice(1, 0)]
=> [nil, ""]
