I think this was an inconsistency that should have been fixed anyway.
Intended for use in C++ functions are the constructors for a single
index, range (upper exclusive), and index array, all using zero-based
indexing:

idx_vector (octave_idx_type i)
idx_vector (octave_idx_type start, octave_idx_type limit,
              octave_idx_type step = 1)
idx_vector (const Array<octave_idx_type>& inda)

 The other constructors are used mainly in octave_value classes.
