Yow. Presumably "nth" without an argument would mean the last. So
@ints[1st..nth]
means
@ints[*]
And if it's a unary with an optional arg, we can write
@ints[nth+1..nth-1]
Hmm, that's not quite right. My wife looks over my shoulder and
says "What about zth?" Not knowing the history of A..Z already...
But yeah, nth is pretty grabby.
