For extra excitement, perl has this nifty feature where you can index
from the end of an array using negative numbers:

 @array = ('ant', 'bat', 'camel', 'dolphin');
 print $array[-1]; # dolphin
 print $array[-2]; # camel

That really _is_ a nifty feature, it makes all kinds of code so much simpler 
when origin is zero.

But it interacts oddly with ANY origin changes. What happens to it when origin 
is 1? Does it mean array[0] is the last element?
