It's either a slice or it isn't, there's no halfway point. Are you proposing to throw an error if only some of the subscripts have colons?

I'm not sure if we should try to clean it up --- there've not been that many complaints, but I'm sure we'd get complaints from people whose code stopped working, if we change it. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
