Hi Romano,
I guess it depends on how you expect things to work. A series stores
something like a pointer to the head of the series, and an index into it,
right? So, when you remove an element, any other references to that series
will have their indexes offset by one from where they were originally. I.e.
the series "shrinks" underneath them, but they keep referring to the same
index, not the same element, as they were before.
>> a: "ab"
== "ab"
>> b: back tail a
== "b"
>> remove a
== "b"
>> b
== ""
