Description:
------------
Currently, in PHP, if you want to reference the last character of a
string, you'd need to do something like $x{strlen($x)-1}.  If using
substr, however, you can do substr($x,-1,1) or
substr($x,strlen($x)-1,1).  In keeping with the former substr example,
$x{-1} could be made to access the last character of a string as well. 
Since, right now, using negative numbers will result in a warning, it
seems unlikely that any existing code is going to be broken by such a
change...
