Naming intention for table.splice? #16

In most languages the intention of splice(start, len) is to extract the designated items out of the original data structure, but seems it's not the case for table.splice, it's actually doing exactly the opposite, just wondering is this by design? If so, care to explain the reasons behind? Thanks.

looks like it was introduced by @clementfarabet in 381970f but I really doubt anyone remembers the context.
