Retrieve all slice information via script

Ok, I was fed up with the slices in Photoshop scripting, since they seem to discourage a lot of people, considering how many posts on this community and outside don't have a proper solution.

After a few wrong dives I did find the descriptor nesting of some basic slice info, that can be used for exports, selecting with descriptors by ID and other needs. To simplify the matter for the next poor guy facing the problem of programatically finding it, I am sharing my function:

/**
 * Retrieve list of slice info with ActionManager's descriptors as normal objects
 *
 * A slice descriptor may expose these but not always all values
 *
 * sliceID : DescValueType.INTEGERTYPE      => stored as id [number]
 * groupID : DescValueType.INTEGERTYPE      => stored as group [number]
 * origin : DescValueType.ENUMERATEDTYPE    => stored as origin [string]
 * name : DescValueType.STRINGTYPE          => stored as name [string]
 * type : DescValueType.ENUMERATEDTYPE      => stored as type [string]
 * bounds : DescValueType.OBJECTTYPE        => stored as top,left,bottom,right [UnitValues]
 * --- Bottom info was skipped, since I did not need it for now but you can see the descriptor API documentation for how to handle other types ---
 * url : DescValueType.STRINGTYPE
 * null : DescValueType.STRINGTYPE
 * message : DescValueType.STRINGTYPE
 * altTag : DescValueType.STRINGTYPE
 * cellTextIsHTML : DescValueType.BOOLEANTYPE
 * cellText : DescValueType.STRINGTYPE
 * horzAlign : DescValueType.ENUMERATEDTYPE
 * vertAlign : DescValueType.ENUMERATEDTYPE
 * bgColorType : DescValueType.ENUMERATEDTYPE
 * topOutset : DescValueType.INTEGERTYPE
 * leftOutset : DescValueType.INTEGERTYPE
 * bottomOutset : DescValueType.INTEGERTYPE
 * rightOutset : DescValueType.INTEGERTYPE
 *
 * @9397041      {Document}  doc the document to work on
