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
IMO, this way is more flexible on its usage and avoid
a redundant copy.
--Jach
i was looking for like
x = [1]
x.remove(1).return()
ps. list is was demo illustrative var

why is x = list.remove(elem) not return the list?
Methods in Python usually do one of two things: 1) mutate the object and
return None; or 2) leave the object alone and return a new object. This
helps make it clear which methods mutate and which don't. Since .remove
mutates the list, it returns None.
