df[i, j] as an alias to df.loc[i, j]

Long shot (and apologies if duplicate, but nothing came up). It would be great if there was an "alias" to the df.loc[i, j] in the form of df[i, j].

I don't think so. That would lead to ambiguous cases with selecting the column whose label is the tuple (i, j). I think the general agreement is that our __getitem__ is too complex as is #9595

Thanks for the reply and fair enough after reading the linked issue thread :). For the record from a user's perspective, I agree with @shoyer's comment #9595 (comment) , it would be an improvement in terms of usability.
