A generic name like "at" or "index" would suffice, i.e.,
A[index(1), index(2), index(3)]

Yet another alternative would be to use this relational operator syntax along 
with the previously-proposed idea of multiple function call operators, except 
use the subscript operator, i.e.,

A[1][0 <= stride(2) < 10][5]

This won't require any extra syntax and will work for anything. It also 
mimics the usual way in which multiple dimensions are indexed.
