[Numpy-discussion] possible enhancement to getitem?

[Neal Becker]

In [3]: u = np.arange(10)

In [4]: u
Out[4]: array([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9])

In [5]: u[-2:]
Out[5]: array([8, 9])

In [6]: u[-2:2]
Out[6]: array([], dtype=int64)

I would argue for consistency it would be desirable for this to return

[8, 9, 0, 1]
