Hi, Jack,
well, I disagree: What do you expect to grab out of a bucket (= data
frame) if you do not at all grab into it (indexing with an _empty_ index,
i.e. with nothing)? And changing the sign of nothing is still nothing ...

I'm not sure if this is correct behavior or not, but it seems counterintuitive
to me:
dat <- data.frame(id=1:5, let=letters[1:5])
# A. omits the first row
dat[- 1, ]
# B. unexpectedly omits ALL rows
dat[- integer(0), ]
It would be less surprising if there were no rows omitted in the (B) case.
