I don't know about that. Good old PL/I had arbitrary ranges for array
indices.

Hmm, I feel an RFC coming on....

        my @arr :low(-32000) :high(+32000);
        my @population :low(1900) :high(2039);

        $population[1923] = 323000;

How about

        my @population[1900:2039];

Looks funny though.
