Hello Emacizens,
I frequently forget that Emacs doesn't include a delete-match function
to be called after (re-)search-forward or the like.
Can we add something like the following to subr(-x).el?
(defun delete-match (&optional subexp)
"Delete text matched by last search.
Optional argument SUBEXP specifies the subexpression to delete,
or delete the entire match."
(when (consp (match-data))
(unless group (setq subexp 0))
(delete-region (match-beginning subexp) (match-end subexp))))
