Comment:

 If n is even, there is one more negative than positive value. This is a
 choice, and consistently done in numpy as far as I'm aware.
 {{{
 In [27]: np.fft.fftshift(np.array([0,1,2,3,-4,-3,-2,-1]))
 Out[27]: array([-4, -3, -2, -1,  0,  1,  2,  3])
 }}}
 From docstring:
 {{{
     >>> freqs = np.fft.fftfreq(10, 0.1)
     >>> freqs
     array([ 0.,  1.,  2.,  3.,  4., -5., -4., -3., -2., -1.])
     >>> np.fft.fftshift(freqs)
     array([-5., -4., -3., -2., -1.,  0.,  1.,  2.,  3.,  4.])
 }}}
