What you're talking about is semantics. There's a difference.

(Blurb condensed to the fact that -1 is the index of last element,
thus -1 can actually be a number less that 8 (in more than one
sense).)
True. But Vim could be intelligent enough to figure out the semantics
of what I was saying (remove(list, 8, -1) being the syntax, me wanting
a list with the first 8 elements of the list being the semantics).
I don't wish to debate this further, Tony. You have provided nothing
but filler to this discussion, while James Vega provided a great
suggestion in only two sentences.
