Description
If negative index is set for :eq a syntax error is thrown. Here is a basic selector: $("div").children(":eq(-1)") and a jsbin sample http://jsbin.com/ovurif/1/edit.
The documentation states that it is not supported but an empty set will be returned. Which unfortunately is not true with the 1.8:
"Unlike the .eq(index) method, the :eq(index) selector does not accept a negative value for index. For example, while $('li').eq(-1) selects the last li element, $('li:eq(-1)') selects nothing."

Actually, I was thinking it would be easy to make it work the same way as the method.

As of 1.8.1 the :eq() selector now supports negative numbers the same way the .eq() method does.

I don't have a problem with negative values working. We can fix that in the next patch release.
