Why not. But is this really necessary? IMHO it's more intelligible in the former version than in the later with tuples.

Also, although I have not really thought in depth about this, but it seems to me that there cannot be a formula, a module, and a variable bearing the same name. Therefore, for consistency, and for a lighter syntax, it might make more sense to use [] for the range, and () for the accesses? Say

s[x][y] '= ...

would be

s(x, y) '= ...

Oh no please :) This is utterly ugly!
