Personally I don't feel like `flat` is better. Especially if there is
`clamping` in Range for the same purpose. Then we should not re-invent the
wheel.

Perhaps another word that could fit in the first case
(truncate/bounded/within/clamping) is `flat`. Along the same lines of the
`flatMap` which returns only non-nil values, here we have an empty array
instead of nil when the range doesn't apply at all.
let array = [1,2,3]
array[flat: 0..<10] // [1,2,3]
array[checking: 0..<10] // nil
I'm still not sure if `clamping` is the right word. What do you think?

Hmm. If you're going with `checking` for one of them, perhaps the other
should be `clamping` (for the analogous method on `Range`, which you
might want to use in the implementation of that subscript). That would
create a nicely matched pair:
array[checking: 0..<10]
array[clamping: 0..<10]
