Pooma 2 Array's do not use operator[] for element access. This is primarily because it doesn't work in multiple dimensions (to get C-like arrays using a[i][j] you have to have a[i] return a proxy that then causes evaluation to happen when the next subscript is seen - as you know, r1 did this. It was a pain.). We could have special cased 1D, but decided that it was better to be consistent across all dimensionalities.

Why are the particle attributes (DynamicArray's) only accessible through
operator() and not operator[], too?

SomeParticle.event(i) --- works
SomeParticle.event[i] --- doesn't
