If ``s`` does not have ``pre`` as a prefix, then ``s.cutprefix(pre)`` returns ``s`` or an unchanged copy of ``s``.
For consistency with the Specification section, I'll also change
s[len(pre):] if s.startswith(pre) else s
to
s[len(pre):] if s.startswith(pre) else s[:]
and similarly change the ``cutsuffix`` snippet.
If ``s`` is immutable, why return a copy when the original will do? s[len(pre) : ] if pre and s.startswith(pre) else s s[ : -len(suf)] if suf and s.endswith(suf) else s
