I think neither 'delete' nor 'remove' imply either one, just a general
'get rid
of this somehow.'

Can you come up with a better naming convention?

Since neither one is more specific in either direction, and the naming
convention of DELETE -> compare element to value, REMOVE -> apply
predicate to
element has already been used in SRFIs 1, 13, 14, and 43, I would
prefer to keep
the convention.
