I guess one could make it do what (I think) it was supposed to do by putting an inverse nthcdr of the kill-ring and its cdr position, in "-2"'s place.

I suspect that someone fell into the same thinking trap in testing that I (and perhaps you) did.

Zero simply moves by one newer kill, as of now.

I should've written "With a negative prefix argument" instead of that, anyway.
