class NDSlicingMixin(object):
    """Mixin to provide slicing on objects using the `NDData`
    interface.

    The ``data``, ``mask``, ``uncertainty`` and ``wcs`` will be sliced, if
    set and sliceable. The ``unit`` and ``meta`` will be untouched. The return
    will be a reference and not a copy, if possible.

    Examples
    --------
    Using this Mixin with `~astropy.nddata.NDData`:

        >>> from astropy.nddata import NDData, NDSlicingMixin
        >>> class NDDataSliceable(NDSlicingMixin, NDData):
        ...     pass

    Slicing an instance containing data::

        >>> nd = NDDataSliceable([1,2,3,4,5])
        >>> nd[1:3]
        NDDataSliceable([2, 3])

    Also the other attributes are sliced for example the ``mask``::

        >>> import numpy as np
        >>> mask = np.array([True, False, True, True, False])
        >>> nd2 = NDDataSliceable(nd, mask=mask)
        >>> nd2slc = nd2[1:3]
        >>> nd2slc[nd2slc.mask]
        NDDataSliceable([3])

    Be aware that changing values of the sliced instance will change the values
    of the original::

        >>> nd3 = nd2[1:3]
        >>> nd3.data[0] = 100
        >>> nd2
        NDDataSliceable([  1, 100,   3,   4,   5])

        It passes uncertainty, mask and wcs to their appropriate ``_slice_*``

        The data is assumed to be sliceable and is sliced directly.
