If creating a parser adds it to the list, then I guessed the semantics
of removing from the list is the opposite: having the parser no longer
exist, i.e. "delete" it.

But now I'm confused by what you say here:

If we already have treesit-parser-delete, and that call removes the
parser from the list, then why would we need a function "to remove a
parser from the list"?  It sounds like treesit-parser-delete already
does it?
