 +======Synopsis:======
 +$__midw__(<start> <length> <word list>)
 +
 +======Technical:======
 +   * If the <start> argument is omitted the empty string is returned.
 +   * If the <length> argument is omitted the empty string is returned.
 +   * If the <start> argument is less than 0, the empty string is returned.
 +   * If the <length> argument is less than 1, the empty string is returned.
 +   * The return value is the first <length> words of the result of removing the first <start> words from <word list>.
 +   * Remember that <word list> is a list of [[what is a word|words]].
 +
 +======Practical:======
 +Useful when you want to get some words on the inside of a word list.
 +
 +======Returns:======
 +Words <start> through <start>+<length> in <word list>, counting from zero.
 +
 +======Examples:======
 +<file>
 +$midw(2 2 hello there how are you?)         returns "how are"
 +$midw(-1 3 hello there bob)                 returns nothing
 +$midw(0 7 hello there bob)                  returns "hello there bob"
 +</file>
 +
 +======History:======
 +This function first appeared in "plus-2" (post-ircII, pre-EPIC)
