Thanks for the tip, Dick, on using the list of keys. One can think of arrays
as nested or multidimensional.

Though is is probably more work, one might also consider chunks in
pass-by-reference.
Maybe any thing the subtract command can take.
However, this might be a problem:
doSomethingToTheseTwo char 1 to 2 of it, char 2 to 3 of it
command doSomethingToTheseTwo @a, @b
put "butter" into a
put "cheese" into b
put empty into a
end doSomethingToTheseTwo
That might also have a problem with this call:
doSomethingToTheseTwo x, x["t"]
I immagine LiveCode folks can come up with a semantics that makes sense for
weird cases.
The subtract command does not have the the problem because it modifies only one
thing.
