This proposes language changes which will open the door to having an_mdspan[i,j,k] work.
I am strongly in favour of this.

Research direction

Start by reading the linked P1161R0 and P1277R0 papers to understand the proposed language changes and how they relate to multidimensional indexing such as an_mdspan[i,j,k]. The issue provides no repository files, tests, or concrete implementation task; done would require turning the proposal into a defined, accepted language-design contribution.
