Sorry folks. I just found the very recent discussion on
this topic on Dejanews. But still: why not let
mylist[5+:0] := anotherlist
be a legal construct? I e the only change would be to
let mylist[i:j] produce an l-value instead of an r-value,
it would break no code at all, would it?
Is the implementation difficult? Are there filosophical
or implementation problems? (I'm not nagging you guys: I can
try to do the work if you think the change in semantics is OK).
