n00b question

Is there a way to declare an array in C so the indexing starts at something besides zero?  Like if I wanted the array to be a[-10] to a[10] instead of a[0] to a[20]?

Valid but a hash map is slower and takes a good deal more memory than a true array.

#define for negative indexed array
