Actually, no. I don't think what Daniel is describing is an+b term, but a actual range of indices (as in up to and including the 3rd item, or the 4th through 8th items, or the 9th item and above). If we add a range (which could be quite useful) then we should add it everywhere an+b is allowed (which might be an extension of an+b).
