The API certainly won't win any prices :-)
There is a semantical difference between the two methods, though:
RemoveItemAt() returns the item in question (that you don't know
before), ie. it passes it over to your responsibility, while
RemoveItem() does not, the ownership is kept with the list (if that
actually claims ownership).
Having names that make this difference clearer would be appreciated,
though.
