-----------------------------------------------------------------

Now that Array types support {*}operator[]{*}, should it be used instead of *GetView()*? If so, then should we substitute all invocations to *GetView()* and make *GetView()* a private method which serves only as the implementation of *operator[]*?

> I have occasionally been in situations where I want to pass in e.g. {{Int32Array}} or {{BooleanArray}} into a template that also can accept STL sequence types like {{std::vector<bool>}} -- in such cases the main API of interest is {{[]}}. Would there be interest in aliasing {{operator[]}} to return the result of {{GetView}} (or to deprecate {{GetView}} in favor of {{operator[]}})?
