Re: ACTION-920 completed

Hmmm.  It looks like no one has reviewed Axel's edits.  Ooops.

I think we're still okay to publish it, but the level of review is a bit
less than our usual standard.

This appears to be just a few of the edits he did as part of ACTION-920.

Sigh.  Well, I can no longer read this section, and can no longer vouch
for its accuracy.  I hope someone who likes subscripts will check Axel's
work.

I think the bits that involve positions are wrong, though, since they
leave out negative indexing (although they refer to it).

Those look fine.

I think this is just like any other arguments-out-of-domain situation; I
don't see a need for special handling, except that the domain
restriction should state that the adjusted-for-negative-indexing stop
position must be greater than the adjusted-for-negative-indexing start
position.

I think so, but at this point I'd rather just leave it.

I think, under the circumstances, it's okay to ship with these two
editor's notes, even though we usually try to avoid it.
