With the array, we can only truly remove a single element by moving all other entries by one, reducing the total amount of entries and adjusting all values that specify a list index. This is possible, but the amount of work needed is growing linearly with the numbers of elements in the list.
However, we can set the to delete value to 0, and if our apply function hits the state 0 to apply, it just continues with the next state :-) It is not truly removed then, but this works too and is much cheaper.
