Yes, it would.  Hm; I wonder what's the correct approach to take.
Should the command delete the address under point, or should it
delete up till the next address?  

For instance:

  To: "Some, name" <larsi@netfonds.no>, larsi@netfonds.no (Lars),
      ding@gnus.org 

If I put point on "name", I could either delete the first address and
get 

  To: larsi@netfonds.no (Lars),
      ding@gnus.org 

or delete until the next address, which would give us

  To: "Some, larsi@netfonds.no (Lars),
      ding@gnus.org 

which is spectacularly invalid.

Hm.  I think that to do this correctly, you really have to parse
RFC2822 headers, which I really don't want to do.  Again.  :-)

Perhaps something could be done with `mail-header-parse-addresses'?
That'll give us a list of addresses, and then we "only" have to match
that to the address point in "in", and "then" remove "that" "address"
"from" "the" header.
