Absolutely correct.

This thread actually got me thinking[1].  There's a thread on Python 
ideas about "where did we go wrong with negative stride?".  It discusses 
maybe fixing this for Python 4.  I wondered if the idea of deprecating 
printf style formatting might also come up again.  It was discussed in 
some depth here 
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2012-February/116789.html

[1] yes it does happen, yes you may joke about it and yes I can take the 
jokes, I certainly deserve them :)
