Microfeatures I'd like to see in more languages

I'm fine with an array type that supports this, but not as the default. I've been bitten in the past by code that ran error-free while giving incorrect output due to this feature suddenly making the indexing valid. I'd prefer it to be opt-in somehow so that the default behavior for negatives is invalid, not silently wrong yet valid behavior.

Matlab has the opposite where your syntactically valid but mysteriously non-working code suddenly has a large array.

You can also overload end in Matlab for your custom classes as it's actually a method.
