The typical way to remove an element in the STL is to use find to find an element and then erase to remove it. remove in std.container is doing the same thing. The problem is that you can't give the result of find to remove, because instead of a single iterator, find gives you a whole range, and you probably don't want to remove that whole range. You generally either want to remove the first element or some set of elements at the front of the range.
This is the exact insight that made me recognize take() is an essential range type.
