Based on that info, below is a revised method. On FF2 it seems to behave the
same as your Ruby examples. I made an index of -5 in your example work the
same as 0.

Array.prototype.insert = function() {
var args = $A(arguments), index = args.shift();
index += index < 0 ? this.length : 0;
if (index > this.length || index < -1)
throw new Error('Index out of bounds.');
args = [this[index], 0].concat(args);
Array.prototype.splice.apply(this, args);
}
