Tired of llList2List automatically reordering your output when your negative index comes before a positive index?

eg: <lsl> list gData = ["A","B","C","D","E"]; ....

   llList2List(gData,4, -3) = A, B, C, E // ok
   llList2List(gData,3, -2) = D // ok
   llList2List(gData,2, -1) = C, D, E // ok
   llList2List(gData,1, 4) = B, C, D, E // ok
   llList2List(gData,0, 3) = A, B, C, D // ok
   llList2List(gData,-1, 2) = A, B, C, E // not really intuitive, output is automatically rearranged, and is thereby NOT what was requested.

</lsl> This sucks in situations where you want your data in a circular loop. (or when you expect llList2List to actually give you what you asked for)
