I agree that it might be confusing for use-cases to diversify, but that is the nature of strings, and I think ease-of-use with strings is more important than being in-line with matrices, especially since the two are not related.

In the attachment you may find the updated proposal.

Sincerely,

I assume the suggestion is that it would be confusing for matrix[x,y]
to return an element of the matrix, but str[i,j] to return a slice of
the string. It would be using the same syntax for two different
things.
