Er, no. There are two choices, 0 and 1. There are no other choices.
One interesting application of an offset that is neither 0 nor 1 is
used for memory allocation in Numerical Recipes. For example, they
allocate a 128-element vector and then subtract 128 from the
allocation pointer 'v', to access v(129..256). Ugly hack, but it
simplifies array offset expressions sometimes.
