On the other hand, before C, both B and BCPL used

So if we trace C's family tree, there is certainly precedence for
zero-based indexing into arrays.
Ah. OK. I never used either language. I get the impression that BCPL
wasn't used / known much in the US, but I could be wrong. I was exposed
to BASIC and FORTRAN (and computer programming) circa 1976 and to C
in 1980. Anything before then is before my time ... :-)
