In After Effects, holding Alt while dropping the expression pick whip
refers to an effect's property by its index, effect("Color Control")(1),
instead of its name, ("Color").
prop.pickWhip takes byIndex: the effect keeps its name and each
property inside it is selected by its one-based place among its group's
children (nested groups too), which is what an expression's (1) reads.
Other properties, dimensions ([1]), insertion at the cursor and match
names (Compact English off) are as before. An index still reads a
renamed property, but another one if properties are reordered.
Tests: pick_whip_by_index_selects_effect_properties_by_their_index
(engine, the references); effectcraft-host pick_whip (by index and by
name read the same values, nested and per dimension).
