On the contrary, I think it would be very easy to implement. I
just think the interpreter should reset out-of-range series values
to the series tail when they are evaluated.
I.e.:
a: "12345"
b: skip a 2
clear a ; nothing happens to b here
index? b ; == 1 (b is reset to tail b as soon as it is evaluated)
insert a "12345"
index? b ; == 1
This way it would be like if out-of-range series did not exist at
all; I think it would be much less confusing (as out-of-range
series are not useful, so I don't need that concept in the
language).
Regards,
Gabriele.
