Description

In general, the index-based DGM getAt has the convenient feature of wrapping negative indices to "from-the-end"-based indices. However, the STC's implementation of getAt for arrays (in ObjectArrayStaticTypesHelper and the companion classes) does not do this an instead throws AIOOBE on a negative index. It should have consistent behavior with other indexing types.
