Arrayed native vars

I'd like to suggest arrayed native/global vars. A user started a forum thread about date/time particulars. It seems to me that a hidden array is the perfectsolution, not just here but elsewhere. Example: DATE returns m-d-yy. Why couldn't DATE(1:4) return numbered year, month, day-of-month, and day-of-week? Same goes for TIME (i.e. hr, min, sec) but perhaps also encompassing TIMES and TIMEMS. Similarly, why not WIFI for the state, WIFI(1) for connection data, and WIFI(2) for scan data. DAYM, DAYW, TIMES, TIMEMS, and WIFII shouldn be delisted rather than deleted so that existing tasks will continue to function  I think this works on many levels: less confusion for the noob, less clutter for the vet. The beginner mode toggle could also have the effect of showing/hiding the arrayed subelements in the var list.
