Allow negative indices for other functions #69

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
For consistency we should allow standard negative index notation for some
other functions:

s.insert(bs, -1) # insert bs at one bit from the end

This could include functions like find() that have a start and end:

s.find(bs, start=-100)  # find in the last 100 bits

Affected functions:

find
findall
rfind
cut
split
startswith
endswith
replace
insert
overwrite
reverse
reversebytes
ror /rol (once they get a start / end)
