Am I missing something obvious here? Array indexing in dictionary queries starts from 0, but the display in dict.view starts from 1.

array-index-0-in-path-1-in-dictview

We do have an open ticket for this discrepancy.  Not excusing it, but dict.view has been like this since it was introduced.

If anything can be changed, I guess it's 

 since it doesn't transmit anything. Maybe there's an argument for an attribute for it (index vs. numbered?) to change the display mode?
