Have I been overthinking this, eh? Just making it `__getitem__(self, index, mode=...)` and then from `vindex` calling the subclasses `__getitem__(self, index, mode="vector")` or so would already solve the issue almost fully? Only thing I am not quite sure about: 1. Is `__getitem__` in some way special to make this difficult (also considering some new ideas like allowing object[a=4]? 2. Do we currently have serious deficiencies we want to fix, and could maybe not fix like that. > -- Marten > _______________________________________________ > NumPy-Discussion mailing list > NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org > https://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion >
