It's not a cut, as in we don't create two seperate lists. It is more of
splice with itself, though I did look at cut and wonder if it would
magically eliminate the unwanted paths but no..
Still favouring a list_del prefix. Once upon a time I just opencoded
this, it's far easily than trying to work out a good name :)
