The way I read it, the new spelling lof that would be the explicit but not discouraged \`image.vindex\[rr, cc\]\`.

If I'm understanding correctly what can be achieved now by \`arr\[rr, cc\]\` would have to be modified to use \`arr.vindex\[rr, cc\]\`, which is a very large change in behaviour. I suspect that there a lot of situations out there which use \`arr\[idxs\]\` where \`idxs\` can mean one of a range of things depending on the code path followed. If any of those change, or a mix of nomenclatures are required to access the different cases, then havoc will probably ensue.
