Go Uffe!
Now I just need another BIF to slide a tuple of a fixed size over a
large tuple. Then I would be happy :-). Say you have a tuple of
1,000,000 items and I want to move a window of 100 items through it,
shifting it from 1 to 100 then from 2 to 101 and so on.
For extra credit it should not copy data but return a "reference"
which would indeed make it a "window".
