Add array-style index accessor for strings. Addresses #422.
The index expression can take up to two indices for the start and end
index of the substring to return (e.g. "mystring[1,3]"). Negative
indices are allowed, with -1 representing the last character in the
string. The indexing is not cyclic -- if the starting index is >= the
length of the string an empty string is returned, and if the ending
index is >= the length of the string then it's interpreted as the last
index of the string. Assigning to substrings accessed like this isn't
allowed.
