Perl already gives us two of the three: Px[Iy] Px{Sy}
For the third, I suggest we extend the analogy: Px<Pz>
Except it breaks really really badly for multidimensional keys:
Px[S1:i;S2:s;P3:i]
Except it does not:
Px[S1]{S2}[P3]
Of course, that is not good for the syntactically diabetic ... but more readable to human eyes, IMO.
Yeah, but given that this code will be generated by compilers 90+% of the time... the assembly generation and parsing of the assembly's easier with the postfix notation.
