Sorry. I didn't know that.

Yes, of course I forgot the most important check. I've updated the snippet.

I'm sorry. you are right. I was eager to find a problem for my
solution. The only case where my code would be advantageous is when
there are many removed slots at the end, and where you have a function
to move a slice of th etable more efficiently than by assigning
one-by-one (I'm not aware of any function like that ATM).

Again, sorry for the noise.
