slice autoextending ?
Message ID:

bugid #1832 points out that there is an inconsistency between the docs and
the behaviour of splice, in that the array isn't autoextended if
the offset is off the end; eg
perl -le 'splice(@x,10,1,'foo'); print 0+@x'
prints 1 rather than 10.
The bug dialogue contains proposals both for a doc patch or a code patch,
but no concensus was reached (or even attempted, it would appear) as to
which it should be.
I would vote for fixing the docs.
Any dissenters?
