I like your second choice better. That is to say, all of these should
slice:
@foo[1..6]
@foo[@arrayvar]
@foo[list(func())]
@foo[list(1)]
(The last would give a single-element list, and thus probably be useless.)
But what about: @foo[(1,2,3)]?
Are those parens a list-maker, or are they a scalar expression using
the comma operator. (Or did we get rid of the comma operator when
I wasn't paying attention?) If we do have @foo[(stuff)] make stuff
be in list context, then that'd be a special case (I think).
