If this is not acceptable to you, then we have two choices: change
the implementation so that both B and C get reset to the tail or
the head of the series whenever they get out of bounds, or change
the way series are defined/documented to account for the concept
of "being out of range". For the latter, you would have to explain
to me what a series is and what should happen when FORMing etc. an
out of range series, because it does not match my concept of
series of values
.
Regards,
Gabriele.
