Most of the functions use E for the names of the elements within slices, but a few use Elem. The former strikes me as more Go, but I don't care. Just struck me as inconsistent.

The only function I see that uses Elem is offByOne in slices_test.go. I'll change that one, but did I miss any?

Oh, I see, the sort functions. Got it.
