+1 on part 2 there.  `slice' sounds/looks like a verb to me, and we're not
slicing apart modules.  `section' looks more like a noun, and suggests
pieces that will be put together rather than a whole being taken apart.  I
had also thought of `fragment', in the sense of `sentence fragment' -- it's
not whole until you finish it.
