HI,

I've updated patches that add key/value hash slices to perl syntax:

my %sub_hash = %hash{qw(some keys go here)};

This feature was discussed [1] back in Feb with Brad Gilbert. We agreed
that for consistency this should work with arrays too as index/value array
slice. I've added array functionality. Also, wrote a few basic tests.

Main question is whether should I continue or stop right there as it never
will be in the core?

A quick review of the code [2] would be helpful too.
