         Notes
         -----
         This should follow pandas' semantics where -1 indicates missing values.
         Positions where indexer is ``-1`` should be filled with the missing
         value for this type.
+        This gives rise to the special case of a take on an empty
+        ExtensionArray that does not raises an IndexError straight away
+        when the `indexer` is all ``-1``.
 
         This is called by ``Series.__getitem__``, ``.loc``, ``iloc``, when the
         indexer is a sequence of values.
