You can still do similarly hellish impls with `Index` - especially if you mix `Deref` into it. IIRC, the compiler will perform automatic recursive derefs when you try to use the indexing operator `[]`, until it finds a deref target which matches the index you're using. I doubt anything relies on that search behaviour outside of the compiler code itself.
I imagine abuse of specialisation could also increase the confusion, if you were so inclined.
