Indexers are used to make an object seem to be an array. Along with
properties and events, indexers are one of the reasons C# is sometimes
termed a component-oriented language (vs object-oriented languages like Java
or C++).

Of course, underneath the covers indexers are really just syntactic sugar -
they are actually just parameterized properties, and properties in turn are
really just metadata hints to logically group getter and setter methods that
the compiler synthesizes.
