This commit reimplements $[ using PL_check hooks, custom pp func-
tions and ties.
Outside of its compile-time use, $[ is now parsed as a simple varia-
ble, so function calls like foo($[) are permitted, which was not the
case with the former implementation removed by e1dccc0. I consider
that a bug fix.
The ‘That use of $[ is unsupported’ errors are out of necessity
deferred to run-time and implemented by a tied $[.
Indices between 0 and the array base are now treated consistently, as
are indices between a negative array base and zero. That, too, is
a bug fix.
