There have been a few cases where the programmer knows that the indices are
in bounds but the compiler cannot deduce that. This is also
compiler-version-dependent, so using build indexing here can be
problematic. On the other hand, it is also not ideal to use the fallible
variant, as it adds an error handling path that is never hit.

Add a new panicking index projection for this scenario. Like all panicking
operations, this should be used carefully only in cases where the user
knows the index is going to be in bounds, and panicking would indicate
something is catastrophically wrong.

To signify this, require users to explicitly denote the type of index being
used. The existing two types of index projections also gain the keyworded
version, which will be the recommended way going forward.

The keyworded syntax also paves the way of perhaps adding more flavors in
the future, e.g. `unsafe` index projection. However, unless the code is
extremely performance sensitive and bounds checking cannot be tolerated,
the panicking variant is safer and should be preferred, so it will be left
to the future when demand arises.
