------- Comment #1 from schvei...@yahoo.com 2009-01-29 20:28 ------- I think expanding to length is not always correct, although I do agree that it can be solved with the proposed method. Length is not always the name of the term you would pass to a slice. Example: sorted dictionary (Red-black tree based for instance). A slice of this container would use two key types as slice indexes. So you would have to define a property length that returns a key, which is super unintuitive for people who are trying to use the length property outside a slicing operation (imagine if the key type is string, your length has to return a string). I think the opDollar would suit this rather well, but maybe call it opSliceEnd, or something like that (to follow the spirit of current operator naming scheme). --
