Make $ usable outside of [] to indicate the length of the last sequence passed or used. How far shall we go with this?
sequence foo
foo = gets(0)
puts(1,foo)
? $ -- print the length of foo
foo = remove(foo,$-3,$) -- remove the last four elements

What is this ticket for? What bug or feature are you asking for? Are you really asking for
puts(1,foo)
? $
?

I oppose. Too much risk of confusing, epecially dealing with subsequences.
At least, write a preproc to prototype the expected behavior beforehand and let us try it out.

The ticket system is not to create a discussion. If you wish to discuss how something will effect the overall design of Euphoria, do so on the dev list.
