| Name: | Drop - remove element sequences from an array
|
| Synopsis: |
array n Drop remove the first n elements
array -n Drop remove the last n elements
array [n] Drop remove the nth element
array [n1 n2] Drop remove elements n1 through n2
array [n1 n2 s] Drop remove elements n1 through n2 in steps of s
array {[seq1]...[seqn]} Drop return a nested list in which elements
specified by seqi are removed at level i in list.

| Examples: |
[4 9 -7 3 2 11] 2 Drop --> [-7 3 2 11]
[4 9 -7 3 2 11] -2 Drop --> [4 9 -7 3]
[1 2 3 4 5] [-2] Drop --> [1 2 3 5]
[1 2 3 4 5] [1 -2] Drop --> [5]
[1 2 3 4 5] [1 -2 2] Drop --> [2 4 5]
[1 2 3 4 5] [1 -1 2] Drop --> [2 4]
[[-9 -12] [6 7]] {[2] [1]} Drop --> [[-12]]

| Bugs: |
The list of sequences is represented by a procedure. This has delayed
evaluation which may cause undesired effects. Should be replaced in a
future versionby a new container type for parameter lists of undefined
length. Candidate delimiters are <...> with cva as the only access method.
Just using [...] as the container is ambiguous.
