[Python-ideas] Allow multiple arguments to `list.remove` and flag for silent fail

[Ram Rachum]

Why do I have to do this: 

for thing in things:
    try:
        my_list.remove(thing)
    except ValueError:
        pass


When I could do this: 

my_list.remove(*things, silent_fail=True)


Aside from being much more concise, it could be more efficient too, 
couldn't it?
