The backtick versions, `[] and `->, are the names of the operations as functions. For example, you could do: `[](obj, ind) and it would be equivalent obj[ind]. This may seem kind of useless when used directly like this, but if can be useful when you need to pass the function as an argument to another function, or if you want to overload the indexing operations in a class; then you need some way of referring to the indexing functions themselves without immediately using them the way you would with obj[ind]. / Leif
