You can always sum 1 to your calculations, so that you have an offset from 
your programming language from 0 to 1 for the initial position of the array.

I also use a language where zero is the first position of the array.  But if 
the behavior is changed, what to do with people that use languages where 1 is 
the first position of the array?  I believe that we can't please everyone, 
so...
