I would be happier if you tried to implement the whole feature now.
There are definitely real-world clients using subscripted properties,
and I think that supporting them shouldn't add *that* much complexity
to your implementation.

That said, I ultimately can't tell you how best to spend your time, and it's
better to have a good implementation of half the feature than no
implementation at all.
