Ditto. I think many are forgetting that we're not really
talking just about the 'if' statement here, but rather how
subscripting operates as an expression. Euphoria spends, I
would imagine, a bit of time during runtime making sure you
don't try to access an invalid index. The safety of that
implementation is supposed to be a selling point. Now,
suddenly, ALL indices should be valid for EVERY sequence?

Is that *really* what we want?
