Visitor supports path entries like /[[2]] for example to mean the 3rd element in an array. I think I can safely remove the [[ ]] around the number as all the visitor has to do is to grab an index while sitting on an array node. If it got anything other than a number that would be a mistake, likewise getting a number while on a map node for example would return an error unless by coincidence there was a key in that map that matched the number. Right now there is also no special error detection code on the map case and I believe 2 and [[2]] are equally unlikely keys for a map in a torrent file.
