Re: RFC 148 (v1) Add reshape() for multi-dimensional array reshaping

[Karl Glazebrook]

Consider

@x[10:20, 20:40:2, 30:50]

This ALMOST works in the current Perl. @x gives array context,
then the , produces a list.

If [] is overloaded on @a then the subroutine sees a list like

"10:20", "20:40:2", "30:50"

The only reason it does NOT work in the current perl is that "10:20"
is a syntax error.

What would be required to make this go away? i.e. to have 10:20 appear
as a plain strring. What else would it effect?

Sounds like almost a solution...
