<div><h1>splice -- remove subsequences</h1>
<div class="single"><h2>Description</h2>
<div><tt>splice v</tt> -- yields a new list v where any members of v that are sequences are replaced by their elements.<p/>
Works also for sequences, and leaves other expressions unchanged. Copying the list v is always done when v is mutable. Certain functions always splice their arguments or their argument lists for the sake of convenience.<table class="examples"><tr><td><pre>i1 : splice ((a,b),c,(d,(e,f)))
o1 = (a, b, c, d, (e, f))
o1 : Sequence</pre>
</td></tr>
<tr><td><pre>i2 : splice [(a,b),c,(d,(e,f))]
o2 = [a, b, c, d, (e, f)]
o2 : Array</pre>
</td></tr>
