Hi, You can always do a = append(a[:3], a[4:]...). If you want to remove 2 elements a = append(a[3:], a[:5]....). You would need to call remove two times, which is slower and cumbersome.
I have rather have two functions like copy and append than a dozen that I have to learn. One of the Go Proverbs is "The bigger the interface the weaker the abstraction."
