Ok we can use {:} instead [:] for zero array access.
The function is the solution half.

It isn't solution. The any syntax/behave change have to have stronger motivation. We had so talk about it 20 years ago :(

Assuming array[~n] has a current meaning, could we give a try to new syntax which doesn't have current meaning? Not yet sure what exactly it could be...
