in thread code to get the first line of an array

That statement hit me too. As far as most people are concerned, a destructor should deallocate all the resources an object owns (in a loose sense, not strictly an OO object, here I consider an array as an object).

shift obviously does not meet that criteria, it is just a usual method.
