Bracket heresies. What about subscripting?

["merry::satchell"@hermes.dra.hmg.gb]

While people are mentioning all sorts of disgusting perversions of the
true path of scheme rightousness, let me 'fess up to a weird hankering
I have.

(vector-ref v n) is a very clumsy way of getting element n in a vector v;
I am still enough of C/Pascal/Basic person at heart to have to stop myself
from saying v[n]. 

Sorry.

I'll go and have a cold shower and read a bit of SICP by way of penance.
