Henri Yandell closed LANG-566.
------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
Thanks for the comment Chandrashekar - exposes this as a mislabeled idea.
That's what Paul and I get for dumping a random idea from a conversation.
The notion is to support negative indices - i.e. "foo"[-1] or
"foofoofoo"[3:-4].
indexOf is the wrong method though, a negative index doesn't make sense there.
I'm going to close as wontfix. The above two would equal negative handling
versions of charAt and substring, but I don't think it's a needed enough idea.
> Replace lastIndexOf methods with -ve index support?
