Here's what I'd like in phobos:

void eraseInPlace(T)(ref T a, size_t index, size_t n=1)
if(isArray!T){
enum s=typeof(a[0]).sizeof;
   auto ptr=a.ptr+index;
   import core.stdc.string:memmove;
   memmove(ptr,ptr+n,(a.length-(index+n))*s);
   a.length-=n;
}

unittest{
auto a=[0,1,2,3,4,5,6];
a.eraseInPlace(1,2);
import std.conv:text;
assert(a==[0,3,4,5,6], text(a));
}

(obviously it assumes no aliasing)
