Reminds me a lot of swift-evolution/proposals/0265-offset-indexing-and-slicing.md at main · swiftlang/swift-evolution · GitHub (which is a compliment, I liked that proposal)

Very interesting. That's spookily similar to my original pitch and pre-dates it. It's a shame it didn't survive the review phase. We could really do with a solution along those lines or something similar.
