As far as I can tell, x(y) treats it as a function named x with a 
argument, not the x as a argument itself to do (y) on; in any case I 
wanted it in addition to the normal behavior.

Also, LSL does not use [] except for defining lists, e.g. list ex = 
[entry1,entry2,entr3];, or as a argument to a function, func([1,2,3],.. 
, but never in this particular manner, which would involve alphanumeric 
characters from the var name directly preceding the [. I was just 
wondering if there was something I could easily change to allow for this 
through wave.
