I want to parse something (from specific subset) that specified inside of [], and pass control to default `[]() operator when this something doesn't fit to specific rules.

But you can't pass something to the default [] operator which doesn't fit to the rules of the default [] operator. So it's your code which is faulty.

But I wonder why `->() was called... It shouldn't be there (at least I see no reason why it should).

The default [] implementation uses the -> implementation to save code duplication, since they have the same semantics (on objects).

there, although I'm not sure what. What semantics did you intend for your [] operator?
