It looks to me like it would be pretty easy to modify the eval() function
near line 1432 of lisp.c, where it calls remove_from_list(), to detect
when the thing being removed is a list, and in that case iterate over it.
What concerns me is that this looks like the sort of thing that could have
wacky side effects if modified, because even though the code looks
straightforward right there, it seems to tie into LISP stuff that I don't
understand.
