Subscripting/slicing of general expressions,
rather than just variables, is on my list,
but it's pretty far down the list. It would take
some effort to retrofit it, and I suspect I've made numerous
subtle assumptions.

Since you are inventing a new language, you have the
luxury of starting with a clean sheet of paper, with no
installed base of user-written code to support, no users
to support, little existing code of your own to maintain etc...
Someone once said that God created the world in
just seven days, because he started from scratch,
with no installed base to support.
