Based off the ast 3.9.6 documentation (https://docs.python.org/3/library/ast.html), we would expect `Slice` to inherit from `expr`. However, looking at `ast.Slice.__mro__` produces the following output: `(<class '_ast.Slice'>, <class '_ast.slice'>, <class '_ast.AST'>, <class 'object'>)`. It appears that instead of inheriting from `expr`, `Slice` inherits from `slice` which appears to be a deprecated type.
