I find the array(:)[i,j]@team syntax advocated in N1924 and discussed
briefly in 12-162 to be cryptic, and potentially lead to cluttering
repetition.

I haven't come up with an alternative that's entirely satisfying, but
here's one that might be acceptable.

Develop an extension to ASSOCIATE in which the <selector> can have an
optional ": TEAM ( <team-variable> )" if it's a coarray (not a coindexed
object).  Within the construct, the <associate-name> is a coarray with
coindexing in the specified team.
