ISTM that allowing users to pick arbitrary lower array bounds was a huge

You lack imagination, sir.
Considering what you'd normally want to do in SQL, the only example I can think
of is to not have the argument over 0 vs 1 based.
Actually, I was thinking there might be some computational problems where
changing lower bound would be nice, but then again, what other languages
actually support this?
