 *  Vector and List Subsetting
 *
 *  There are three kinds of subscripting [, [[, and $.
 *  We have three different functions to compute these.
 *
 *
 *  Note on Matrix Subscripts
 *
 *  The special [ subscripting where dim(x) == ncol(subscript matrix)
 *  is handled inside VectorSubset. The subscript matrix is turned
 *  into a subscript vector of the appropriate size and then
 *  VectorSubset continues.  This provides coherence especially
 *  regarding attributes etc. (it would be quicker to handle this case
 *  separately, but then we would have more to keep in step.
