What It Does
This function searches for the provided value in a list, and returns the list index of the matching value. If the provided list is not a list or the value is not found -1 is returned. The value can be any type, and strict equality is used to find the matching value to remove.
The search is done in sequential order.

// RemoveAt

// Index
textln(listIndex(list, 4)); // 2
textln(listIndex(list, 1)); // -1
textln(listIndex(list, "4")); // -1
// Contains
textln(listContains(list, 4)); // true

textln(listContains(list, "4")); // false
// Concatenation
textln(listConcat([1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6])); // [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
textln(listConcat([1, 2, 3], 4)); // [1, 2, 3, 4]
textln(listConcat("apple", "orange")); // ["apple", "orange"]
