Perhaps, but what would that syntax be? '-' has the advantage that e.g.
foo = foo[..-2]
would do what most people intuitively think it does. Otoh one could easily consider it bogus that the above isn't the same as:
int n = -2; foo = foo[..n];

I think it would be less confusing to use something different from "-" to mean "count from the end". Besides that, it's an interesting idea.
