Indexes start with 1 (I am not kidding)
What is so bad about that?
It's different from the rest 99.9% of languages for no particular
reason.
It's not "different from the rest 99.9% of languages". There are many
languages that use 1-based indexing, e.g. Matlab, Pascal, Fortran.
In Pascal you specify both the lower and the upper bounds.
I vaguely recall that in CORAL66/250 you specified both bounds and the
lower bound could be negative. Do other languages allow this or does
the lower bound always have to be positive?
