High

16. How beneficial would slicing sequences that ARE NOT the last
subscript?
Notes:
e.g.   ? x [2..5][3]
This would NOT break current code because it is currently
not legal. Example uses would include but not be limited to:
* vertical slicing of a bitmap
* retrieving all values of one field from a sequence of records.
High        
Medium      
Low      X (don't fully understand it)


17. How beneficial would subscripting sequence with sequences be?
Notes:
This would allow subscripts to be BUILT programmatically.
Currently if we want to subscript, we have to specify how
far into the sequence we are delving by the number of square
brackets[] we use. This suggested extension would allow you
to subscript a sequence that you don't know the structure to.
This would NOT break current code because it is currently
not legal.

Low         X (don't fully understand it)
