Subject: 26.3; Add (remove|delete)-if(-not) to plain Emacs
Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2020 13:49:24 -0700 (PDT)

Enhancement request: Please add simple, list-only `delete-if',
`delete-if-not', `remove-if', and `remove-if-not' functions to Emacs.

Simple list-only versions are fine.  It seems silly to load cl-seq.el,
which in turn requires cl-lib.el, just for such mundane, simple
workhorses.  In my libraries I redefine one or more of these (for
lists only) for individual libraries, to avoid users having to load
another library just for such a function.

This has been requested several times before, I believe.

cl-seq.el?  I thought that everyone uses seq.el nowadays
where seq-filter and seq-remove are autoloaded.

Yup; seq is the recommended interface, so adding functions like these
would just be confusing.  Closing.
