 When using a `None`-aware operator for member access, either for a method or an attribute, the syntax is `obj?.method()` or `obj?.attr` respectively. `obj?.attr` is equivalent to `obj.attr if obj is not None else obj`. This does not prevent an `AttributeError` if `attr` is not an attribute or method of `obj`.
 
-The `None`-aware indexing operator is used identically to normal indexing, using `?[]` instead of `[]`. `seq?[index]` is equivalent to the expression `seq[index] is seq is not None else seq`. Using this operator will not prevent an `IndexError` if `index` is outside the bounds of `seq`.
