doc/core: fix description of `nth` function

The "nth" element can be confusing. In an array context, we know indexes
start from 0 but one may believe this is not the case with "nth". For
example, would `.nth(1)` return the first (1th/1st) or the second
element?  Rephrase a bit to be less confusing.
