Wishlist item:
When a function returns a location in a multi-dimensioned array, it must return a sequence. It is very messy to use the sequence to access the array.
sequence array, subscript array = {{1,2,3},{4,5,6},{7,8,9}} subscript = {2,3} array[subscript[1]][subscript[2]] -- Current method array[subscript] -- Wishlist alternative method
Check out extract(). That should work for now until using a sequence to access elements is built-in.
extract() WILL NOT DO WHAT YOU WANT! extract() does something different.
Instead, see fetch() - http://oe.cowgar.com/docs/eu400_0070.html#_2482_fetch
