Now I have slightly different idea. How is about special-casing of this as a shortcut for append:
L[] = item
Namely just use the fact that empty slice is SyntaxError now.
I understand this is totally different approach than operator overloading and maybe hard to implement, but I feel like it looks really appealing. And it is quite intuitive imo. For me the syntax reads like: "add new empty element and this element will be "item".
No?
Yes, if this were PHP. I still haven't seen any compelling argument against the append method. -1 on introducing a new way to spell append. ChrisA
