Idiom #29 Remove item from list, by its index

Remove i-th item from list items.
This will alter the original list or return a new list, depending on which is more idiomatic.
Note that in most languages, the smallest valid value for i is 0.

import java.util.List;
items.remove(i);

Original list is altered.

Be careful not to confuse remove(int) with remove(Object), in case you have a List<Integer> (conversions can be tricky)
