I think I understand your point, but if I were writing
this program, I would have a hard time convincing myself
to implement the subscripts any way but the way they
have done it currently. In the current method, the
subscripts are at least unambiguous.
I guess I would need a lot more convincing and better
understanding of how you want to use these values.
Cheers,
David
