	   Yup!  Just like the partial indexisation [:-)] that was in from
   the beginning:  eg "vector := matrix [ , j]" to copy the "j"th column.
   In fact, since parentheses are a permitted substitution for brackets in
   implementations with restricted character sets, the *syntax* (in the
   traditional sense) is already provided.

Wow, I'd forgotten that.

It must have been edited out of my memory as an ``undesirable feature'' ....
