Well, the proposal was to interpret m[i] as m.group(i), for all values of i. I can't see anything confusing with that.
it can quickly become rather confusing if you also interpret m[:] as m.groups(), not to mention if you add len() and arbitrary slicing to the mix. what about m[] and m[i,j,k], btw?
I'd say, don't pretend m is a sequence. Pretend it's a mapping. Then the conceptual issues go away. -- ?!ng
