It has something to do with imagining a caret or cursor
in between the elements. When the cursor is outside the
array but at least adjacent to it, that's one case. When
it's just totally outside the bounds, that's the other
case.

You might try searching the archives for "right out" --
a reference to the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch. ;)
