What exactly are you expecting? I don't understand why you think that
L[-0] and L[0] would be different, when -0 == 0. I'm also unsure why you
think that there's anything more ("too") to get -- the example shown
reverses the entire list.
Perhaps if you show what result you are expecting, we can show what slice
to give to get it.
