I believe this would allow for cleaner code when working with lists. To get the last element of a list we could do:
world << list[-1]
Instead of:
world << list[list.len]
It would also be great if we could extend this to list features similar to the slices used in Python. For example:
var/list/L = list(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8)
//If we want the forth element onward we have to do:
L.copy(4,0)
//With new notation we could do:
L[4:0]
An optional third element could also be added as the stride:
L[::2] //Returns every other element
L[2:5:2] //Every other element from 2 to 5
L[::-1] //Reverses a list
