Yes, negative frequencies rotate the vector backward the same amount
that the positive frequency would rotate it forward. For most of the
core opcodes, that clarification is sufficient to describe the semantics,
although for loscil(), there is an additional caveat, that once you've
entered the looping portion of the opcode going forward, negative
frequency rotation that passes loopstart going backwards should result
in backward looping behavior, not in replaying the attack portion backwards
to the start of the sample and stopping there.
