Z←R[L], R[L]←A, and R[L]f←A are all extended to allow both Reach and Scatter indexing.
L is a nested array of integer scalars and/or vectors, suitable for indexing R.
R is an arbitrary array.
A is an arbitrary array.
Reach Indexing: If L⊃R is valid, it is equivalent to ⊃R[⊂L]
Scatter Indexing: If L⌷R is valid, it is equivalent to R[⊃∘.,/L]
Both Reach and Scatter indexing may appear together within a single instance of R[L], R[L]←A, and R[L]f←A


For example, in origin-1

      V←'123'(⊂4 5)
      V[1 (2 ⍬ 1)]
 123 4


Z←R[L], R[L]←A, R[L]f←A, L⌷R, and L⊃R are all extended to allow negative index values.
L is a nested array of integer scalars and/or vectors, suitable for indexing R.
That is, if the largest allowed index value is N, then the previous allowable range of values was ⎕IO to N, inclusive. Now, the allowable range of values is 1 ¯1[1]-N to N, inclusive. For example, A, A[⍳⍴A], and A[⍳-⍴A] are all identical for any array A in either origin.
R is an arbitrary array.
A is an arbitrary array.


For example, in origin-1

      V←'123'(⊂4 5)
      V[¯1 (0 ⍬ ¯1)]
 123 4
