Jonathan throttles the camel violently, screaming:
"Do What I Mean (DWIM)"
and then carefully restores order to the universe (and apologies
to the camel). It looked promising, but Perl doesn't make a
special case of ranges in array slices, as Japhy points out. It
isn't the first time I've tried that construction though.
The problem is Perl is just too consistant in some places,
although in others you've got to watch out for special magic.
