Unfortunately it's not happening, and it's a bad idea anyway.
We are keeping multiple keyed arguments in a single opcode.
add P0[S1], P3[2, 2, 3], P4[4, 2, 2]
is valid and will stay that way.
We're also *not* making keys into PMCs. They're simple linked lists for a
reason. At best they may (_may_, and don't count on it) be Buffer
structures, but that's it, and likely not that.

Nested multidimensional data structures mainly. And speed.
Sorry I don't have time for details--maybe in a few days. This has been
discussed before--the answers are in the architves.
