Ok: plain and simple rule:
x.y.z

x[y][z]

What about using Jiri's associated lists? Then you can call the vars what you
want, search for a name1.name2.name3 in any order of
name2.name3.name1, as well as mess with the indexing. And know what's
there too, with a search for a wildmatch. This is *very* handy in mirc.

This isn't much of a change. It's some syntactic sugar that IMHO really
doesn't add a whole lot (not nearly as useful as the pending $ feature).
If you're really interested in this, you probably want a preprocessor.
David Cuny already did this (note: it's always a good idea to search for
his contributions before you try to code something, cause he probably
already did it!):
