...so that means that (cut "foobar" 0 0) is "foobar"? How does that make sense?

I think that the -1 ending the string makes more sense when you take the zero into account.

(cut "foobar" 0 0) is "", just like (cut "foobar" 1 1) and (cut "foobar" 42 42). 0 isn't a negative number.

As pointed out above, (cut "foobar" 0 0) is "", and (cut "foobar" 1) is "oobar".
