parse-atom-postfix now dispatches three cases after consuming '.':
.field -> existing field/module access
.(EXPR) -> existing local-open
.[EXPR] -> new string-get syntax (this commit)
Eval reduces (:string-get S I) to host (nth S I), which already returns
a one-character string for OCaml's char model.
Lets us write idiomatic OCaml string traversal:
let s = "hi" in
let n = ref 0 in
for i = 0 to String.length s - 1 do
n := !n + Char.code s.[i]
done;
!n (* = 209 *)
