Huh, it should... This is definitely an oversight on our part. If you
could please open an issue for this -- or better yet -- write a pull
request that implements delitem, that'd be great!
So I think you are right that there is no current way to delete rows from a
CArray. Oops! (Of course, I may still be missing something as well).
It looks like EArray also has this problem too, otherwise I would just tell
you to use that.
Be Well
