That is: array:put($array, $index, $value) which returns $array => array:remove($index) => array:insert-before($index, $value) that is, it replaces the value at position $index with a new value. This seems such a basic omission that I wonder if we should consider it even at this late stage. 126700 1 mike 2016-06-07 17:00:35 +0000 The WG agreed to add this function. Test cases have been committed. 126701 2 mike 2016-06-07 17:16:27 +0000 The function has been added to the spec. 126707 3 josh.spiegel 2016-06-08 15:19:02 +0000 I don't see it yet, but can you please use the same signature as insert-before? e.g. array:put($array as array(*), $position as xs:integer, $member as item()*) as array(*) i.e. position and member instead of index and value.
