No, I wouldn't:
1. the operation should follow glib's naming conventions. (i.e. at least 
   something like g_array....)
2. the natural way to remove an element from an vector (or array for that
   matter) is to move all following elements down one position, so the
rule
   of least suprise actually calls for this semantic.
