The following sequence seems wrong to me, in that
after dropping some elements from a list, its Length is
still the same. I copied this directly from the notebook
but removed the In[] and Out[] statements.
timexp={{0,0}} -> {{0,0}} [this is ok]
timexp=Append[timexp,{7,8}] -> {{0,0},{7,8}} [this is ok]
Length[timexp] -> 2 [this is ok]
Drop[timexp,1] -> {{7,8}} [this is ok]
Length[timexp] -> 2 [ this is what I did not expect!]
Should not Drop reduce the Length of the list by the amount
dropped?
