Manim: VGroup and VDict should implement `del`

[leotrs]

del vgroup[0] or del vdict['key'] should just call .remove() on the appropriate elements

[huguesdevimeux]

Sorry if i'm missing something, but what if one wants to remove an element from a VDict and not from the Scene ? Are you talking of scene.remove ?

[leotrs]

class VDict():
def __del__(self, key):
    self.remove(key)

Similar: Implementing in for a VDict to check if key is in vdict (and similarly for a VGroup). To make VDict as close as possible to python dict, it would be great to support the methods listed here. Maybe "VDict 2.0" after attrs is merged?

[leotrs]

Agreed. But also, Container should implement in...

[leotrs]

Also, the easiest way of doing this is to have VDict inherit from collections.abc.Mapping or collections.abc.MutableMapping
