Hello Ladislav!
On 04-Gen-01, you wrote:

Yet, I think there would be a problem; imagine this scenario:
f: func [
"Does something"
series [series!]
i [integer!]

/local element
] [
; We do something here
element: pick series i - 1
; we do something with ELEMENT
]
After debugging your function seems to work. You are confident in
it, but then, one day, something like this happens:
f skip [1 2 3 4 5] 2 1
and you get unexpected results.
(Well, all this is probably quite unlikely, but it might be the
source of one of those subtle bugs which make programmers go
crazy.)
Regards,
Gabriele.
