Removes a variable from the <code>DDS</code>.
Does nothing if the variable can't be found.
If there are multiple variables with the same name, only the first
will be removed.  To detect this, call the <code>checkSemantics</code>
method to verify that each variable has a unique name.

@param name the name of the variable to remove.
