Now that the API guidelines now call for many functions to label their first parameters, this justification has been fatally weakened.

Unlike functions, subscripts still *do* usually have unlabeled first parameters, but they are written so rarely that I'm not sure it's worth being inconsistent with literally every other parameter construct in the language.

As I mention in the proposal, I consider subscripts distinct, playing a different role in the language. 
I do not have any problem with the existing implementation or their optional labels.
