Summary PICK and POKE of strings have off-by-one error with indexes < 1.
Description PICK and POKE of string types skip the 0 index, and negative indexes are shifted accordingly. PICK and POKE of block types work correctly.
Example code
; PICK of blocks
>> b: skip [a b c] 2
== [c]
>> pick b 2
== none
>> pick b 1
== c
>> pick b 0
== b
>> pick b -1
== a

; PICK of strings
>> b: skip "abc" 2
== "c"
>> pick b 2
== none
>> pick b 1
== #"c"
>> pick b 0
== none  ; should be #"b"
>> pick b -1
== #"b"  ; should be #"a"

Note that this bug exists in R2, for blocks as well. This needs to be fixed - it's like picking and poking in Roman numerals.
