is there a better way?

[Schüle Daniel]

I don't want to hijack the thread I was thinking
whether something like lst.remove(item = 0, all = True)
would be worth adding to Python?

it could have this signature

def remove(item, nItems = 1, all = False)
	...
	return how_many_deleted

lst.remove(item = 0, nItems = 1)
lst.remove(item = 0, nItems = 2)

lst.remove(item = 0, all = True)
in last case nItems is ignored
