I agree with Steven that minor fact should not be given more weight. It has a specification in the Reference and it own FAQ entry.
IMO it doesn't belong in tutorial because having a negative modulus is rare and because burying the use in details makes the tutorial harder to read. The intent of the tutorial is to have a structured, example driven, overview of the language. It necessarily omits uncommon cases and detailed specifications.
Thanks for the suggestion, but I am going to close this one as Steven suggested.
