I'd like to propose that a ? safe navigation operator is added to handle array notation. An example is included below on line 5:
1: <cfscript>
2: st = {};
3: st.key1 = "My Value";
4: writeDump(st?.key1);
5: writeDump(st?["key1"]);
6: </cfscript>
This would work exactly like ?. works for dot notation on line 4, and would round out the functionality. Currently this throws a parse error. I know that C# has this functionality, and maybe other languages do as well. Seems pretty useful to me.
