That doesn't generalize to more than two levels (without many extra
lines of code) - you essentially have to number or label the repeat
loops, and check in many places whether the 'exitMe" variable has been
set to a higher level or not. And it's pretty fragile if additional
levels of repeat

The way it is in Director is nice. These are all valid statements:
put “one two three” into v
put the last char of word 3 of v
— “e”
v = “one two three"
put v.word[3].char[v.word[3].length]
— “e"
put [{a:1,b:2,c:3},{d:4,e:5,f:6}] into alist
put alist[2].d
— 4
put the d of alist[2]
— 4
put item

script editor "clairvoyance" or AutoFill as it's called. Imagine all your text

I Can't understand this fixation with how many characters typed.
I now quite like the verbose "dot notation" of Livecode - it's now second
nature and it's the last thing I would even bother asking to augment with
"real" dot notation.
the put into variable adds very little time to typing and is
