My thoughts are that Comet should attempt to stay with the mainstream, and give us an option otherwise. Comet16 is what it is. If the same command in Comet32 works a little differently, because of subscript 0 (which it should), so be it. But giving us a custom command or statement in addition to the standard is what makes Signature and Comet stand out from the rest.
I like the idea of a new Comet32 command that would define a specific range. I think a syntax similar to what you recommended would work well.
xxx: Format a(1:10,1:20)
in addition to that format statement, an executable that sums the range would be extremely useful
Lets say we have sales for 12 months, for 3 years:
xxx: format sales(1:12,1:3)
Let Total = Sum(sales(1:12,1)) ! total sales for year 1
Let Total = Sum(sales(1:12,1:3)) ! total sales for all years
A single subscripted array would work the same
xxx: format sales(1:12)
Let Total = Sum(sales(1:12)) ! total sales for the year
Let Qtr4 = Sum(sales(10:12)) ! total sales for quarter 4
This would eliminate the need for for/next loops to total larger arrays
