This patch is an additional enhancement of opDollar (issue 3474 and

Sounds awesome. However, the name opDollar should be changed to
something like opSize, opLength, opEnd or almost anything else
than the current name.
opDollar is a pretty awful name but nobody could come up with something
that is less awful. At least it is not confusing. Everybody instantly
knows what it does.
For built-in arrays $ is the length and the size, but that isn't
generally true.
Wish we had a better name, but opLength isn't it, and nor is opSize.
opEnd might be the best of those three, but it kinda sounds like
something to do with ranges.
