Hi gmassar,
it's not quite as drastic as that.
After removing from the list, do
>> list: head list
== make list! [2 3 4]
Also try:
>> list: make list! [1 2 3 4]
>> at list 2
compare to
>> block: make block! [1 2 3 4]
>> at block 2
Another surprise:
>> list: make list! [1 2 3 4]
>> foreach element list [print element]
Also try
>> foreach element list [print mold element]
forall and forskip work as expected.
Also compare
>> block: make block! [1 2 3 4]
>> partial-block: skip block 2
>> list: make list! [1 2 3 4]
>> partial-list: skip list 2
>> remove block
>> remove list
>> partial-block
>> partial-list
In short, you'll run into surprises if you expect list to behave like a block.
Looks to me like list is not completely implemented in the experimental version
I'm using (0.10.38.4.2) .
