-d negative index not working

[amerlyq]

In man for -d we have Negative array indexes will wrap around. Trying $ echo '[1,2,3]' | jshon -d -1

[
 1,
 2,
 3
]

Did I misinterpreted man?

This appears to work if it wraps around to the first element, but that's not very useful:

$ echo '[1,2,3]' | jshon -d -3
[
 2,
 3
]

Yes, it's not useful at all -- I have different structure in last element and must drop it before applying -a to rest. Without negative indexes it's relatively cumbersome task. I hope there is way to fix it at least.
