`()` is now overloadable, so one could implement that operators for arrays/vectors/slices to get indexing via ().

  Not `map[k] = v;`, which is deal breaker.

    Other languages don't offer indexing sugar at all, so even minimal sugar for retrieving elements might be nice. There are however, more significant road blocks, like how to handle returning references (basically, we would be left in a similar situation to the current Index trait, which has its uses, but isn't what most indexing should do).

      Right, that too, no first-class lvalues in Rust.
