No. If there is any doubt, leave it out. This operation is

entirely unnecessary in Ocaml which is perfectly capable
of doing index calculations and at the same time controlling
scopes .. unlike some other languages :-)

let last a = 

  let n = size a in 

  if n>0 then get a (n - 1) 

  else raise IndexError


let from_end a i = (* easy user space routine *)

Easy routines like this which are not heavily used
should NOT be put in libraries.

IMHO :-)
