On the other hand [*] seems to be more flexibe and handy. Just try to compare the number of characters hit for the example below. But I think the Patrick Barnes email in the same discussion should make me thinking. My justification for this feature was a custom find() situation that I meet regularly. But due to the memory requirement [*] might not be efficient at all.
-- some more example constant x={ {"John",1,74}, {"Mary",5}, {"Andy",2,68}, {"Suse",7,62}, {"Jack",5,84}} -- following line would print {1,5,2,7,5} ? x[*][2] -- following line would print "oanua" ? x[*][1][2] -- following line would print {'J',1,74} ? x[1][*][1]
