   Weirdly specific problem! So if I want to indicate an item is the second of three items in very, very, very short form I can write 2/3

   But, in my situation, I'm using 0-based indexing so it's actually 1/3 but that means the last item is 2/3 and that makes no sense.

   So, x/y is a bad format here. But, what's a good very short format that shows an item's index and the array's length?

   I do not want to change what the numbers are, so it has to be the format that presents them that's adjusted.

     @Nifflas I sometimes face this issue when debugging (I *have* to see the actual numbers when debugging!) and in these cases I usually go for x(y).

     @jzillw Oh yeah, that's a good suggestion!
