Hi Ilya,

I have three questions about your RFC:

Firstly does your proposal allow for a slice like 10..20:2  (i.e. with
a stride of 2) ?

If not is there an easy way to incorporate that?

Secondly, what about having multidim support in the core so that the
tie-tokenisers get optimised away? i.e. would we be able to
say something like:

@x = @y[10..20; 1..3]

for core arrays

Finally as an overload expert what do you think about the proposals
to make arrays overloadable objects so one can say things like:

@x = 3 * @y;
