The function `base::rm` has an argument that is named `list`. However, if a
list is passed as `list` to `rm` (e.g.: `rm(list = list("x", "y"))`), an error
is raised: "invalid first argument".
Agreed, the documentation says that `list` should be "a character vector naming
objects to be removed." Still, wouldn't it make sense to allow a list of
characters as an argument?
The other alternative to make things consistent would be to rename the
argument, but that would break compatibility, of course.
