Hmmm ... not real Fortran. (that should be said in a deep, impressive
voice)
Real Fortran died when Fortran 77 took over :-(
And, AFAIK, only those modern variants from (I think) Fortran90 onwards
have sparse arrays.

1988, a

lulz. Cute, but of course associative arrays are indeed a type of array.
But yes, it would be nice to also support indexed arrays.

Leave things as they are, delete the first element, and keep track of an
offset value that you use to grab array elements. If your array starts at
1, and you haven't deleted any elements from the front, the offset is 0.
If you delete 2 items, from the front, the offset is 2. If you want to
