Scratch

This may have already been suggested...
I think it would be nice if, instead of being able to only delete and replace items at a certain position in a list, people could type a specific item and have that specific item deleted or replaced from the list. At the moment, it is only possible to delete and/or replace items at certain positions in a list. We could also have blocks that would detect if a certain item was in a list.
We could have blocks that would look like this:

if <item [ball] is in list [inventory v]>
delete item [ball] of list [inventory v]
end
if <item [ball] is in list [inventory v]>
replace item [ball] of list [inventory v] with item [car]
end

that would be useful but the scratch team rarely adds features with workarounds.

set [c v] to (1)
repeat until <(c) > (length of [inventory v])>
if <(item (c) of [inventory v]) = [ball]>
delete item (c) of [inventory v]
else
change [c v] by (1)
end
end

That would be cool, but what would happen if there were duplicates of an item? Would it delete the first, both, or what? :S

The blocks would delete both or the blocks could look like this:

if <item [ball] is in list [inventory v]>
delete instance [1 v] of item [ball] of list [inventory v]
end
if <item [ball] is in list [inventory v]>
replace instance [1 v] of item [ball] of list [inventory v] with item [car]
end
