if then a more convenient way might be found to naturally remove and return
the list
maybe it was not included as one might want to remove the list only
x = [1]
x.remove(1)
as opposed to
x = [1]
x.remove(1)
new_list = x
i was looking for like
x = [1]
x.remove(1).return()
ps. list is was demo illustrative var
