[issue4510] ValueError for list.remove() not very helpful

[Tim Lesher]

Ugh.  That's a reasonable objection.

What's the best thing to do in this case, generally speaking?

list.index() does print the full repr on a value error; and a quick grep shows a number of other similar uses, although those don't seem to be as easy to trigger inadvertently.

Should this feature be removed from list.index as well?
