I don't have hard numbers for this either, but it does take marginally
longer. And as Jacque said, probably not enough to worry about unless
you're processing a loop.

Another thing that surprised me is that saying "the last word" or "the
first word" also takes longer to execute than "word -1" or "word 1". I
figured "first and "last" would automatically get compiled down to
primitive bytecode, but apparently that's not the case.
