Description

Because `[[` can be used with a single number like `1` and `[` with a vector like `[1]`, it is not clear what the expression `x[[1]]` represents, i.e. does it call `[[` or `[`.

Research direction

No implementation file or test is named in the issue. Start by reading the discussion and locating the parser or grammar entry points for indexing and vector construction, then reproduce x[[1]] and inspect how it is parsed. Done means the expression has an unambiguous, documented interpretation with coverage for the relevant syntax.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
