Needed a clean way to remove items from an Array. Here is what I came up with. I think it is pretty clean.

extension Array where Element: Identifiable {
    // Mutating func to remove items from Array.
    mutating func removeItems(withIDs idsToRemove: Set<Int>) {
        self.removeAll { idsToRemove.contains($0.id) }
    }
    // Non-mutating func to remove items from Array and return result.
    func removingItems(withIDs idsToRemove: Set<Int>) -> [Element] {
        return self.filter { !idsToRemove.contains($0.id) }
    }
}

Happy Coding ;-)
