Idiom #135 Remove item from list, by its value

Remove at most 1 item from list items, having the value x.
This will alter the original list or return a new list, depending on which is more idiomatic.
If there are several occurrences of x in items, remove only one of them. If x is absent, keep items unchanged.

erase(items, x);

C++20
items has type std::list<>
$list_position = array_search($x, $items);
$specific_item = $items[$position];
unset($specific_item);
(let [[n m]
      (split-with (partial not= x) items)]
  (concat n (rest m)))
