New submission from akira:
`pathlib.PurePath.parents` is a sequence [1] but it rejects negative indexes:
>>> from pathlib import PurePath
>>> PurePath('a/b/c').parents[-2]
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
IndexError: -2
Sequences in Python interpret negative indexes as `len(seq) + i` [2]
I've included the patch that fixes the issue and adds corresponding tests. No
documentation changes are needed.
