delq() without side effect

delq() without side effect

[Nordlöw]

Is there an, if possible built-in (efficient), function that works
like delq() but instead of modifying its second argument returns the
result (pure function)?

Thanks in advance,
Nordlöw

remq.

note: delq also returns the result. (in fact, the doc says that you should
always use (setq lst (delq elt lst)).
