More browser related Javascript implementation fun..

IE & Navigator allow both of the following ways to access a list
(HTMLCollection in this case).

document.forms[index]
document.forms.Item(index)

I have the Item() bit in place. Now if I only I could persuade a square
bracket element access to end up at item(). Does anyone have any ideas about
how to implement this ? My first thought was to specialise Array but after
poking around I couldn't find any obvious way to do this. A quick play with
enumeration doesn't seem to yield much of use either. Obviously I'm barking
up the wrong tree here so does anyone have any ideas in this direction.

Thanks folks,
