I dispute this. Indices aren't necessarily numeric (think of an A-Z file),
Python has recently added an index slot which means "as an integer, and I really am an integer, I'm not just rounding like int(3.4) would do"
So in the context of python, an index is numeric, whereas "subscript" has already been used for hashtables with arbitrary keys.
