Actually, as a fix for the [0] issue, why not provide, e.g. a
getExitStubs1() - note the '1' suffix - for those few messed up cases
and correct the index issue in them.  Going forward we can document
these case and direct new users to them, pointing out way we haven't
changed the originals to preserve functionality.

Anyone else remember the BASIC command "OPTION BASE" that some dialects
had to switch between arrays in that language starting from 0 or 1? 8-)
