Have you benchmarked the nice `deleteat()` function written by @GunnarFarneback, edited with `unsafe_copyto!()`?

In my limited testing it worked on par or faster than `deleteat!()` and with no need to copy the argument.

No, I have not. I have to admit, I am not particularly interested in a multiline function for this. I am interested in general quick-and-easy solutions, which exist. The only way I think that it is interesting, is if it would be added to `Base` - do you think that is a possibility?
