96 "When specifying index values, if <element index> is 0 or"
97 " greater, it is indexed from the "
98 "beginning of the list, with 0 representing the first list element. "
99 "If <element index> is -1 or lesser, it is indexed from the end of "
100 "the list, with -1 representing the last list element. Be careful "
101 "when counting with negative indices: they do not start from 0. "
102 "-0 is equivalent to 0, the first list element.\n"
