Hit this one today,

Has `removeAt` or `removeAtIndex` be added to the std lib?

BTW, for associative array, `remove()` is in-place; but here for 
std.algorithm.mutation.remove (*keyword*: mutation), one need to 
do

```
   array = array.remove(index);  // return a new container, not 
quite *in-place*

   // v.s.
   aa.remove(key);  // return bool (if it's removed)
```

This in-consistence is really bad.

Also, this api re-work is related to this DIP: @mustuse as 
function return value annotation
