Probably not--but there are enough for people to have noticed and
complained.

At the very least it's hard to document the correct behaviour. :)
Essentially I just need to know what to write in the docs, because at
the moment we don't know what the intended behaviour is. Should I just
write that the behaviour of negative indices is undefined, as you
appear to be implying (i.e. unimportant and therefore possibly changing
at random?)
