Re: Array start index

[pineapple via Digitalmars-d-learn]

One reason for zero-based indexes that isn't "it's what we're all 
used to" is that if you used one-based indexes, you would be able 
to represent one fewer index than zero-based, since one of the 
representable values - zero - could no longer be used to 
represent any index.

Also, it's what we're all used to, and it makes perfect sense to 
a lot of us, and the only times in recent memory I've ever made 
off-by-one errors were when I was trying to use Lua and its 
one-based indexing.
