      value[x] is straight-up FHIR syntax, and if we depart from it in FSH, it would be confusing.

      As a side note, I would discourage using "[x]" as "x" is a letter and could be confused with a variable name or so\. For such template-like situations I would rather suhhest using "*" or "\."\. For instance: "value[*]" or "value[\.]" or even just say that in case the type is not explicitly specified, e\.g\.
      * valueString\.value = "Hello World"
      is used then it is inferred\.
