#' Select time slices of a data cube
#' 
#' Create a proxy data cube, which selects specific time slices of a data cube. The time dimension of the resulting cube
#' will be irregular / labeled.

#' @return proxy data cube object
#' @examples 
#' # create image collection from example Landsat data only
