First it yields s[0] (which is 1), then you delete s[1], then it yields
s[1] (which is now 3). It doesn't yield 2 because that's in now s[0],
and it's already yielded s[0].

In general you shouldn't modify what you're iterating over because the
behaviour depends on how it happens to be implemented.
