As an aside, why do people insist on numbering things from 0? Is this an attempt to be esoteric? I always thought that the reason for labeling arrays from 0 was to make the offset within an array be easily and intuitively computable. This doesn't seem to map well into the realm of counting things, as the high incidence of "off-by-one" errors in programming shows.
