[FIXED] some issues running tests (args not flattened and negative array ranges not working well?)

[asterbini]

Hi I was trying to run the copperhead tests and I have found that some of them do not run, I suppose mainly for 3 reasons:

• some required functions in prelude.py are commented
• nested function's formal arguments seems to be not flattened before line 725 of rewrite.py

[FIX] I think I fixed it by moving the _nametuples step before the inline one

• [FIXED] there it seems to be an error in handling negative slices of arrays, e.g. test_rotate.py fails when the rotation is negative. This can be fixed by changing copperhead/prelude_impl.py by making the resulting index always positive
