I think this came up a while ago but it’s a hard thing to search for.

Are there any plans in the language for `x.[1]` as an alias for `getindex.(x, 1)`?

I know this isn’t exactly what you’re asking, but you can achieve something similar with [`UnderscoreOh.jl`](https://github.com/tkf/UnderscoreOh.jl)

```julia
julia> using UnderscoreOh

julia> v = [rand(2) for _ in 1:5]
5-element Vector{Vector{Float64}}:
 [0.6085133215181955, 0.6737658732824161]
 [0.7391928545794244, 0.8981975869418919]

 [0.6156112200856345, 0.9754178381164584]

julia> (_o[1]).(v)

Thanks! Indeed this is it. Looks like there are a lot of issues to work out with regards to that feature and a lot of thoughtful discussion around it.
