Slats are or should I say were in the 1930's/40's primarily a device to improve low speed handling qualities and cannot be anti-spin, the only true form of anti-spin is propper handling of the aircraft, slats simply make the behaviour at stall more benign but their effectiveness has a cut-off point beyond which there is nothing to provide these protections, in high speed manouvering the chances of exceeding those limits are much higher.
I believe the relevance of these extended discussions to the original subject is to do with what some people are expecting from the effect of slats, the original question I believe is almost impossible to answer without being able to disable the slats, and that is subject to whether they are actually coded as separate devices as opposed to the FM being modelled with simple wings that reflect performance with slats.
