It seems that there is a consensus on the names ``removeprefix`` and ``removesuffix``. I will update the PEP accordingly. I'll also simplify sample Python implementation to primarily reflect *intent* over strict type-checking correctness, and I'll adjust the accompanying commentary accordingly.
Lastly, since the issue of multiple prefixes/suffixes is more controversial and seems that it would not affect how the single-affix cases would work, I can remove that from this PEP and allow someone else with a stronger opinion about it to propose and defend a set of semantics in a different PEP. Is there any objection to deferring this to a different PEP?
No objection. I think that's a good idea. Eric
