Which statement of mine has brought you to this conclusion?

Another quote from the manual:

> ... and string.sub(s, -i) returns a suffix of s with length i.

Is just wrong for i == 0.  Do you have a better proposal to fix it?

I know that the next paragraph is supposed to handle this case.
But a simple interface looks different.
