Summary
Remove HTMLOptionsCollection.remove(element)
Motivation
Removing by element instead of index is a WebKit/Blink quirk, the spec only has remove(index):
http://whatwg.org/html#htmloptionscollection
It's not even an optimization, it's implemented as remove(element.index).
This ad-hoc test has all other browsers agreeing on non-support:

Insignificant.
Alternative implementation suggestion for web developers
Use select.options.remove(element.index) or just element.remove().
