Yes, or even to remove them completely.

It is not clear to me what the semantics a cursor has. Is it a location in
the container? Then that should be an index or position. Is it a pointer to
an individual element? Then that should be an access type object. Cursor
looks like an amorphous mixture inheriting disadvantages of both.
