MATLAB: Double indexing

MATLABvector

Hello,
is it possible to do double or multiple indexing in matlab? E.g.
>> v = [1,2,5,7,9]
v =
   1     2     5     7     9
>> v(1:4)
ans =
   1     2     5     7
>> v(1:4)(2:3)
ans =
   2     5
The first index create a new vector and the second index creates a new vector out of the newly created one. It is common in other languages, and it helps to avoid defining temp variables.

The closest you can get is
subsref(V(1:4), struct('type', '()', 'subs', 2:3)))
You can follow {} referencing by () referencing, {}(), but you cannot use ()() or (){} or ().{} or ().(), and you cannot use function(){} or function()() or function().field
