          # TODO: can be made more performant on large result sets by
          # for instance, last(index)[-index] (which would require
          # refactoring the last(n) finder method to make test suite pass),
          # or by using a combination of reverse_order, limit, and offset,
          # e.g., reverse_order.offset(index-1).first
