        IMHO, a consistency is the most important rule here.

        I do not have any problems with any of those proposals,
        providing that I can apply similar reasoning to other
        functions as well. I do not wish to be forced to remember
        that "drop" and "take" are somehow special in treatment
        of (illegal/legal?) negative arguments.
