Remove elements from speedbar-supported-extension-expressions

I want to have a function to remove elements from speedbar-supported-extension-expressions

What is a robust way to do it?  

If I do

C-h v speedbar-supported-extension-expressions

and pick up the entry in the way it is printed, would it be remaved if 
one just copies the entry?

Suppose the printed value is

(".[ch]\\(\\+\\+\\|pp\\|c\\|h\\|xx\\)?" ".tex\\(i\\(nfo\\)?\\)?" ".el"
 ".emacs" ".l" ".lsp" ".p" ".java" ".js" ".f\\(90\\|77\\|or\\)?"
 ".ad[abs]" ".p[lm]" ".tcl" ".m" ".scm" ".pm" ".py" ".g" ".s?html"
 ".ma?k" "[Mm]akefile\\(\\.in\\)?")
  
and match using 

   ".[ch]\\(\\+\\+\\|pp\\|c\\|h\\|xx\\)?"

to remove that entry.

Or is- it more robust to remove the entry by its position in the list?

The customize interface is robust, so you can either use customize 
to modify this variable, or copy some of its code.
