Seems I've missed that in the docs, I tought it will always make a copy :)

Negative indices might seem a bit odd but it's standard in other
languages (like javascript and php which I've already mentioned).
I would even like to see this in D:

array[-2];  // get 'a' from "foobar"

same for slicing:

array[-4..2];  // get "ob" from "foobar"
