This is odd...Why is "c" at position 1 and "d" at position 2?

This is only possible if the string-index does not start at 0
(as lists do start at 0, this is confusing..)

but thats not the case ->

""
> (length t)
0
> (push "a" t)
"a"
> (length t)
1
> (t 0)
"a"

It is confusing when the length to push is bigger then the string itself, then we
have to deal with an exeption.. a round-robbin counter in this case...
