A lot of this seems very special cased for a given use.
If you want to append to an array using numeric indexes, that feature already
exists:
xyz = $empty_array
xyz[xyz[]] = "a"
xyz[xyz[]] = "list"
xyz[xyz[]] = "of"
xyz[xyz[]] = "words"
xyz[xyz[]] = "in"
xyz[xyz[]] = "a"
xyz[xyz[]] = "zero"
xyz[xyz[]] = "based"
xyz[xyz[]] = "array"
results in:
xyz[0] = a
xyz[1] = list
xyz[2] = of
xyz[3] = words
xyz[4] = in
xyz[5] = a
xyz[6] = zero
xyz[7] = based
xyz[8] = array
This is no more bulky than doing the same thing in some shell languages like
bash.
Do we really need a new feature here?

Right, it would always assign to an non-assigned index.
