Weird things happen.

x := ['foo'];

x[-1]

->fails hard

x := ['foo'];

x[-1] := 2;

x[-1]

-> no error

More generally, AF doesn't support array "with holes". Hence, the following is also invalid:

x := ['foo'];

x[5] := 2;

although this fails with a different error (outofbounds).

This happens because the "check for holes" is:

if ( count( current_array_object ) <= requested_index ) {
  throw
}

Depending on how we want to fix this, there are various ways forward. One is to add || requested_index < 0. Another one is to allow negative indexes, or even allow array with holes.

@Nullzero what would you suggest?

To avoid surprising users, I think we should mandate that index must be between 0 and |array| - 1.

To avoid surprising users, I think we should mandate that index must be between 0 and |array| - 1.

Yeah, makes sense. We can also allow negative index in the future, if we want to.
