At least in display filter language [] is slicing operator, and bar[1] means
first byte of bar.

We could use bar{1}, but what if bar{1} not exists?
Problem is that you don't know about it at compile time.
In such cases should we display warning runtime?

Instead we could add new functions like: sum(), avg(), max(), min() which
returns single value [or 0 (NULL)? when there's no item], or

maybe we should not implement it as custom columns, just add new 'report
generator dialog' which allows SQL-like queries on pcap file?
