While the function result is different than src, src is not modified, remember to use or store the result of this function.

The opposite function would be llListInsertList.

Returns a list that is a copy of src but with the slice from start to end removed.

How to use
list result = llDeleteSubList([], 0, 0);

        // Now let's remove values at position 1 through 2.
        names = llDeleteSubList(names, 1, 2);


        // Result:
        // list names = ["Anthony", "Diane", "Edgar", "Gabriela"];


        // Now let's use an start number higher then our end number
        names = llDeleteSubList(names, 3, 1);


        // Result:
        // list names = ["Edgar"];
        // If start number higher then our end number, then we should imagine that the start and the end are missing before start and end.
        // Imagine it should be FROM_THE_LISTSTART_CUT: start, AND_FROM_THE_LISTEND_CUT: end ... more or less :))
        // names = llDeleteSubList(names, 3 -> , <- 1);
