This is probably:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10837
... except the "value = delete foo[i]" syntax is kind of meh, and
doesn't work with slice ops like "delete foo[*]". A functional syntax
like @pop() would look okay. We try to not introduce new keywords,
except in the @-space, and even there only with version-conditional
parsing.
