You wouldn't be able to pattern match on the input being a list regardless because you could have a list of lists and be wanting to delete one of those lists.
For example: ```elixir List.delete([[:a, :b], [:c, :d]], [:a, :b]) #=> [[:c, :d]] ``` And I generally agree with others that the Enum module is sufficient for this, i.e `Enum.reject([:a, :b, :c, :d, :e], &(&1 in [:a, :b]))` reads pretty clear to me.
