I think a combination of yours and Budda's proposal is actually very
nice:
@a[10:20:2; 11:30:3]; # ; implies cartesian product of indices
@a[10..20:2; 11..30:3]; # same with .. syntax
@a[[10,20,2],[@index], [0,0,0]] # comma-separated index refs means
# individual elements
Is that a possible compromise?
