Whats your point? I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.

Which is why I'm asking for it.

GScript isn't a programming language. And if thats your opinion explain why Python has this feature since you could easily make functions as you said.

I wont take your word for it since you're not Stefan, sorry.

Well, why not go and ask those Python people why they added a dictionary data type.

Stefan isn't very good at documentation, if I were him I would be keeping a public list of things that are being worked on, considered, denied, or completed for the next version.
I asked for the feature because it would be an easy solution to an irritation, and I'm not going to make functions and bother joining them everytime I use the feature when they could be done much better this way. Using functions would be more troublesome than giving the data specified indexes.
Such a feature would also be good for those newer to scripting/programming.
I don't think you're doing a good job of explaining why not to add a simple feature present in other languages.
