(I copied a.[] syntax from Algol60, my first language, where it was used to extract characters of strings which were otherwise an indivisible type. The a.b syntax, using a dot selector operator, is also very extensively used in many languages for extracting members of compounds types in similar ways. So there is logic involved, it follows existing usage, and it's used polymorphically. Unlike the Lisp which, taking the example of extracting bit i from integer a, or a.[i], I believe would be: (logbitp i a) with presumably a different method for strings and a different one yet for records. Lisp can't even make up its mind whether the index comes first or second!) (Anyway I didn't say my language was elegant. Only more so than Lisp.) -- Bartc
