Note that REMOVE works directly on the string, so re-defining mystring and HEAD isn't
needed there...
>> mystring: "123456"
== "123456"
>> remove back tail mystring
== ""
>> mystring
== "12345"
And a fun alternative...
>> mystring: "123456"
== "123456"
>> mystring: head reverse remove head reverse mystring
== "12345"
