(I was surely not referring to you about confusion. :)
This seems to be 2.3 times slower than pick:
ofs-pick: func [series offset] [pick skip series offset 1]
The following is only a bit faster, but has a hole in -1 which is
way worse that the hole in 0 of pick:
ofs-pick: func [series offset] [pick series offset + 1]
If you put the code of the first ofs-pick inline, it is only 1.6
times slower (with the + 1 we go down to 1.3); provided the cases
in which such code is needed are few, I think the overhead is not
that great. Do you think this is worth adding new natives? (I'm
really asking!)
Regards,
Gabriele.
