Container item delete methods
Currently there is no documented obvious way to remove existing NIX entities.
When looking through the code, one can see, that there are __delitem__ methods on the custom container classes, so items can be removed either by accessing these magic functions or by using the del keyword, but this is not obvious to the average user.
Is there a reason for not providing a remove or delete method on Container instances?
I don't think there's any reason not to have them. I think we always relied on del container[objectname] since our container objects are meant to behave like dictionaries, but maybe a .remove(objectname) or .delete(objectname) would be more discoverable and convenient.
