Ah, yes. But when I said I don't need index stability, I meant current
4 can become 2, but I actually want to preserve the order of elements
within the array... hence moving the whole data block.
(I guess for a generic genalloc_delete_size an extra flag indicating
whether to move all elements or just move the last one might be good.)
