Apologies for replying to myself. I realized that I had checked the code 
but not the documentation in 5.2. The documentation in 5.2 properly 
defines the behavior for negative indexes down to -n.

But I'm still interested in the other two things (below -n as an error 
versus 1, and a means to get the arguments from the beginning.
