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

[Sébastien Volle]

List comprehension works too:

my_list = [ thing for thing in my_list if thing not in things ]

But both our solutions don't change my_list in place but require creating a
new list, and would not be very practical with big lists.

Anyway, I'd rather stick with the simple for loop than making list methods
too clever.
