Slice currently supports 3 different arguments for the format metadata: default, compact, and sliced.
In 4.0 compact will become the new default, cutting this list down to 2 options. Having a metadata directive for just 2 options seems excessive, especially when one of them is already set by default.
Instead, we should remove the metadata, and add a new sliced-format metadata. When it's specified, the format will be sliced, and when it isn't, it will be compact by default.
