There have been a few requests for negative indices in versionator,
where -1 would mean the last component. This conflicts with the range
syntax, however, so the meaning of things like -2 would be inconsistent
between functions.
However... Getting the last index seems to be something that's needed
often enough to warrant a proper solution. The attached implements
get_version_component_count and get_last_version_component_index.
Thoughts?
