As far as I can tell, all of these should be equivalent:

array.shift
array.delete_at(0)
array.slice!(0)

Are you saying these don't have the same functionality?  What
do you mean when you say the index is "removed altogether"?

OT... does anybody else hate it that the String and Array API's
have suttle differences and lack methods of the other?
