The ARG is inventing some syntactic sugar to make user-defined
container code easier to read, and Tucker is doing most of
the work on that.  One example is that there will probably be some
mechanism to say:

    A(X) := A(X) + 1;

where A is (say) a hash table mapping strings to integers,
and X is a string.  User-defined array-indexing notation.

Also, some new kinds of for loops.  For example, looping
through the components of an array without any
horsing around with index values:

    for C : Character of My_String loop
        Do_Something(C);
    end loop;

The ": Character" above is optional, according to the latest proposal.
