##
## Remove an input or output variable from an existing FIS
## structure and return the updated FIS.
##
## The types of the arguments are expected to be:
## @itemize @bullet
## @item
## @var{fis} - an FIS structure
## @item
## @var{in_or_out} - either 'input' or 'output' (case-insensitive)
## @item
## @var{var_index} - an FIS input or output variable index
## @end itemize
##
## Note that rmvar will allow the user to delete an input or output variable
## that is currently in use by rules in the FIS.
