Please explicitly say that `remq' returns a *copy* of LIST, just as we
do in the doc string of `remove'.  It does *not* "Return LIST with all
occurrences of ELT removed."  

The final sentence of the doc string tries to clarify things, but
combined with the first sentence the result is still confusing.
