Also please run a spell checker, at least for documentation, it would
catch that "multipe" typo :-)

And we should avoid these magic numbers, why 10 is a good number, maybe
5? The best thing would be to have no such limitations. Please consider
this for some followup patch, i.e. to lift this limitation from the code
and docs.

You missed the ':' at the end of the example summaries, I'm adding them:

Select the second 10% time slice:
