    eltype(type)

Determine the type of the elements generated by iterating a collection of the given `type`.
For dictionary types, this will be a `Pair{KeyType,ValType}`. The definition
`eltype(x) = eltype(typeof(x))` is provided for convenience so that instances can be passed
instead of types. However the form that accepts a type argument should be defined for new
types.

    splice!(a::Vector, indices, [replacement]) -> items

Remove items at specified indices, and return a collection containing
the removed items.
Subsequent items are shifted left to fill the resulting gaps.
If specified, replacement values from an ordered collection will be spliced in
place of the removed items; in this case, `indices` must be a `UnitRange`.

To insert `replacement` before an index `n` without removing any items, use
`splice!(collection, n:n-1, replacement)`.
