He mentioned only one: "when you know that the elements to be deleted
cannot include the first element", and that's the only one I know. Are
there more?
Even that case is a burden to the reader and the maintainer, because one
has to think about and verify that this condition is fulfilled. And IMO
this case is more dangerous than the `mapcar' case which just produces
slightly more inefficient code.
But yes, we would warn about some legitimate and safe calls. The
advantages outweigh the disadvantages in my opinion.

I think this is impossible. The compiler can't know or prove whether
the element to delete is different from the first one.
Michael.
