Array.slice and Array.splice

[vicb]

Those would emit ListWrapper.slice() and ListWrapper.splice().

Couldn't that be an issue if ListWrapper is not imported ?

How should we deal with that:

• add the import if not present (not sure how hard this would be ?),
• inline the logic,
• do not try to rewrite those

I think there was some talk about disabling the "unused import" failure for the generated Angular Dart code. @alexeagle, is that correct?

If so, we could just always generate imports for ListWrapper etc. But I think duplicate imports are still an issue - so we might still have to be smarter and look ahead to see if we need to add the import.

Re inlining the logic, I looked at that when I implemented these, I thought it was too much code. Any other opinions?

We've temporarily disabled the unused import analyzer check, but I think we intend to enable it again. @vsavkin knows.

My $0.02 is that we should first take out the façades which can be emitted without any extra wrapper and come back to this one.
