An attempt to use index on a type which doesn't implement the `std::ops::Index`
trait was performed.

To be able to index into a type it needs to implement the `std::ops::Index`
trait. Example:
Only values with types that implement the `std::ops::Index` trait
can be indexed with square brackets. Example:
```
let v: Vec<u8> = vec![0, 1, 2, 3];

// The `Vec` type implements the `Index` trait so you can do:
println!("{}", v[2]);

Tuples and structs are indexed with dot (`.`), not with brackets (`[]`),
and tuple element names are their positions:
```ignore(pseudo code)
// this (pseudo code) expression is true for any tuple:
tuple == (tuple.0, tuple.1, ...)
```
