echo $a{strlen($a)-1}; ? is that really that bad.I do worry that at present
$a = "a string";
$p = 0
while( $p < strlen($p) )
.. do stuff that could do $p-- or $p++ ....
echo $a{$p};
}at present that would produce a nice error if you went < 0.. easy to spot.. - if -ve was supported it could do unexpected stuff..

I am wondering what are people's opinions on adding support for negative string offsets that could be used to access data from the end of a string.
Ex. $a = "123"; echo $a[-1]; // would print 3
I don't think we should do this for arrays, since -1 and similar are valid array keys, which means adding this support for arrays would break BC.
