I don't mind the semantics, but I don't like the semicolons ;-)

What about if when brackets trail as if attributes, it means
your-style slicing written with colons instead of semicolons?

          sequence.[start : stop : step]

I think that would just be a tweak on the trailer syntax.
I just really dislike the semicolons ;-)
