Thank you Sergey! I definitely appreciate the wider perspective 
I've gained by peering into multiple languages.

For example, Ada, being a Wirthian language, has an N-index based 
system, so indices can be negative which necessitates a return 
type of a signed type for the Length attribute. Pascal, Lua, and 
PL/I are other languages that are also N-index based vs just 
being either 0-index(most languages) or 1-index based (eg. Julia, 
Matlab, Fortran). :)
