If .pop were being added today, I would argue against including the index

GASP! That's no fair!
1) When using pop you normally want to keep the mutability available,
so iter(mylist) is a no-go.
2) When using the index, it's often somewhere in the middle that
you're popping from
I have never done that and I do not believe I have ever seen that. It
certainly is extremely rare in my experience. Removing an item *after*
looking at it is something different.
for i in range(len(mylist), -1, -1):
if pred(mylist[i]): del mylist[i]
