Re: Re: Support negative indexes for arrays and strings

Which suggests a solution, namely either use another symbol or else attach to the colon a different meaning. Or, we can forget about applying this feature to arrays and hope that users will understand that this is a feature that only applies to strings and use a simple negative offset.SL
