As per ACTION-819 I added append to DTB.  It wasn't recorded there, but
while I was doing it, I remember that I was supposed to remove the rule
that too-high indexes were changed to be only 1 too high (which was
needed for insert-before to act like append.)  Given that, it seemed
right to also remove the rule that had made indexes before the start of
a list turn into zero.  Now positions which are not actually positions
of some item in the list (ie are <0 or >= len) result in "unspecified"
semantics.  (In my Python implementation [1], they raise IndexError).
