... which is generally why I favor letting collection-like types use the bracket notation to get and set elements.  That would eliminate the syntactically advantages of arrays. -Joe

In my opinion, supporting access throw indexes will cause that bad style programming will increase.

... which is generally why I favor letting collection-like types use the bracket notation to get and set elements. +1  That would eliminate the syntactically advantages of arrays. Except, possibly, for 'adding' elements to them, which in many cases just looks like:  fooArray[i++] = foo; Collections could conceivably go even cuter though:  fooList += foo;

This is not valid sytanx, because this suggest merging operation rather than addin element.

fooList[] += foo; or fooList[] = foo;

and

 fooList -= foo; Mark
