commit ddc86aa141e7a2d86cd4469ce0b1e05450b60742

    Reject negative index values in DefaultResolver.getIndex (#432)
    
    * reject negative index values in DefaultResolver.getIndex
    
    getIndex returned a parsed negative subscript unvalidated, colliding with 
the -1 sentinel that means the property is not indexed, so callers branching on 
index >= 0 wrote the whole property instead of one element.
    
    * Potential fix for pull request finding
