the fault value of step is 1
if the start and stop are unkown, then start and stop is depend on +/- of step
index could be -infinite to +infinite, but only -len(list) to len(list)-1 maps to value others map to NONE
for index >= len(list), we consider it is on the right of the list's end, maps to NONE
for index < -len(list), we consider it is on the left of the list's start, maps to NONE
for a five-numbers list,that is:
... -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1  NONE
    NONE  0   1  2  3  4  5  6  7
          <-----list----->
e.g. but we consider -7 is at the left of -5
