Subject: 24.4.50; doc string of `remq': correct it per the doc of `remove'
Date: Tue, 12 Aug 2014 07:59:01 -0700 (PDT)

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.
