By the way, I have found arbitrary indexing to be handy for naturally expressing dynamic programming tableaus and pre-built recursive bases. The code naturally matches the math.

I've worked around it in fixed index languages by having a constant holding the offset:

o = 3
i[0 +o] = i[-3 +o] + i[-1 +o]

ugly but readable against the maths.
