Hi

I have a question, is there an elegant and quick way to
delete an item from a comma separated list.

Example:

arg1,arg2,arg3
......>

The cursor point is at the 'a' of the second argument. I
want to delete the arg2 and the separating comma. What is
solution if there are spaces after or before the comma?

Thanks in advance. Could you CC the solution privately?
