This provides a handy way to get, say, the last field of the string. Use of a negative index in this way has precedent in the nearby left() and right() functions. The implementation scans the string twice when N < -1, but it seems likely that N = -1 will be the huge majority of actual use cases, so I'm not really excited about adding complexity to avoid that.
