obj[stuff] is syntactig sugar for obj.[](stuff) and obj[stuff]=otherstuff is 
syntactic sugar for obj.[]=(stuff,otherstuff). Stuff can be multiple values 
seperated by commas, otherstuff can't.

Not more so than <, >, <=, >=, <<, >>, ~, ^, &, +, +@, -, -@, *, ** and so on. 
Also all methods ending with a equals sign (where you can write obj.bla = blo 
instead of obj.bla=(blo)).
