since asdf[1..2] is { "asdf", "asdf" } and asdf[1..2][1] is currently
illegal, it could get the 1st subscript from every sequence in the
slice, while asdf[1..2][2] gets the second. So that
asdf[1..2][subscript] is the same as
{asdf[1..2][1][subscript],asdf[1..2][2][subscript],asdf[1..2][3][subscript],asdf[1..2][4][subscript]}
