Hm. Needs more Unicode. =)

It is kind of comfortable. Which is why I think I'd like to keep the
redundant nth (if we have "first" and "last"), aka 'th (where nth($i)
and $i'th are just pre- and postfixed versions of each other).
When you're referring to an element in the middle of a list,
$four'th
just feels cleaner than "first+$four" or something.
