I now see the rationale behind not accepting ' 10 ' == 10. But what about not
accepting '-1' == -1?
I think is odd that negative numbers are not accepted as valid indexes. I'd
expect that something like
"First element is {0[0]} and last element is {0[-1]}".format([0,1,2,3])
would work but it didn't.
Should I create a new Issue requesting this as a new feature? Or could be
reconsidered as a bug?
I could provide a simple patch that change get_integer() so it would accept
negative integers as a valid number.
(This is the first issue I reported and English is not my native language so I
apology for any mistake that I made)
