Let's be honest, `y_i(array, 10)` is much less readable than `array[10]`. Sure, you can program with bounds checking, but it's less readable, and less newbie-friendly.

The fact that I have built all of this is part of why I don't accept contributions. [1] I don't expect people to be able to read my code.
