I like {$s,$l} and/or {$s:$e} for read, but I can see using that kinda
syntax for write getting REALLY messy. So: -1 on write acces using {,} or
{:} and if it doesn't work for write then making it work for read is
inconsistent so -1 on the whole concept.
Still +1 on $str{$negOffset} though, speed aside, it's readable and cute.
