Perhaps the Wait could be phrased as such: "I take a Wait to Attack anything that comes into view, and, should nothing do so before my next turn, I take a step immediately before my next turn." I think that allows a shooter to cautiously advance, invokes the Cascading Waits rule if they walk into an ambush, etc.
Two things:

All of the discussion in TS playtest very clearly involved a Step. Perhaps it was a tacit assumption, but the slicing maneuver very much describes the first step, then wait.

Second, if Wait-then-step you can never actually clear the corner, since I don't think "if nothing happens" is a valid trigger. If it is, it's an interesting way to resolve the issue.
