Hm. I'm torn. So, it looks like it's okay in terms of syntax; "_" is
not a valid character in a sequence. But what are the semantics if
'name' refers to more than one message?
Then name+n is the nth message of name; name_n is the nth to last message of
name.(1 based ordinals. That is, name+1 is the first message of name and name_1
is the last message of name).
If name has fewer than n messages then I would prefer an abort with error
message. Paul Fox would, I gather, prefer a semantics where name+n and name_n
are always meaningful.
