What about just writing some package to allow indexing arrays with rationals if this is so important to some people? If the denominator is not 1, it errors or something. My experience so far with Julia is that if there is a feature you'd like to have that is not in Base, it is easy to add that feature in a package and see little loss in performance. It should be easy to write a package that introduces arrays with index starting at 0 and it should be easy to write a package that indexes arrays with rationals so you can just write things like a[10//5].
