I guess it's OK :)

It works but it acts exactly the way $string[n] works for now. What I will 
want is for {} to be ONLY string specific and [] only array specific. The 
first needs a patch from me and the second is an incompatibility so I doubt 
we'll be changing this very soon.
So the result will be that $string{n} will convert $string to a string and 
then always treat it as a string *even* if it's an array. It's the right 
way to separate these.
If I didn't explain it well let me know.
