Research direction

Start at from_vec and the .remove(0) operation mentioned in the issue, then inspect existing tests and usages to determine whether element ordering is part of the list’s contract. Compare that contract with swap_remove and document the expected behavior and performance tradeoff before deciding what change, if any, is appropriate.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

.remove(0) has to copy all elements back, but I'm wondering if ordering could be sacrificed by using swap_remove instead, or another method construction method that uses swap_remove
