Possible feature for new Euphoria-version

Sequences are really easy to use, but there is no way you can create an 
index to a sub-, sub-, sub-sequence of a given sequence. Wouldn't it be 
nice if such a thing existed?

In the current version of Euphoria, you can do:
sequence seq
seq = {{1, 2, 3}, {4, 5, 6}, {7, 8, 9}}
integer a
a = seq[2][2]

My suggestion for a new feature: allow the index to be a sequence. That 
way you could do something like this:
sequence seq
seq = {{1, 2, 3}, {4, 5, 6}, {7, 8, 9}}
integer a
a = seq[ {2, 2} ]

And now for the exciting part:
sequence seq
seq = {{1, 2, 3}, {4, 5, 6}, {7, 8, 9}}
sequence b
b = {2, 2}
integer a
a = seq[b]

This way you can also pass and return multiple indices to and from 
procedures and functions.
