--remove deletes the env note before you leave it #35

When I use vex --remove envname, vex starts the virtualenv and then after leaving the environment, it will be removed. Vex should remove the virtual environment without starting it beforehand.

vex is, by design, a tool for running commands in virtualenvs.

--make doesn't just make a virtualenv, it makes the virtualenv and then runs your command in it.

Similarly, --remove is supposed to remove the virtualenv after running whatever command you asked for.

This has intended use cases: for example I use vex -mr foo baz to just create a virtualenv, run baz and then tear down in one command.

--make and --remove would not exist at all except for this kind of use case. vex isn't a substitute for rm, cp, etc.

You can remove virtualenvs with rm or trash-cli.

Thanks
