Similar to how I can do
```auto
let add1 = (+) 1
let two = add1 1 // 2
```
Is it possible to do something like
```auto
let foo = [| 1; 2; 3 |]
let at = ([]) foo
let two = at 1 // 2
```
Possibly with different syntax, of course?
Just so I don’t have to write
```auto
let at i = foo.[i]
```

Module `Array` contains functions for this:
`Array.get` or `Array.item` and safer version, that doesn’t throw `IndexOutOfRangeException`, `Array.tryItem`:
```auto
let foo = [| 1; 2; 3 |]
let at = Array.get foo
let two = at 1 // 2
```
