This does to seem to be so strange to me. Note that:
expr[[1,1]][[{1,2}]]
c11[d111,d112]
which is, of course, documented. On the other hand: expr[[1,1,{1,2}]]
means the same thing as expr[[1,1]][[{1,2}]], which, I think, is
consistent, with the general way of working of Part (although I don't
know of any explicit documentation for this).
