[Python-Dev] Re: PEP 616 -- String methods to remove prefixes and suffixes

-1 on "cut*" because my brain keeps reading it as "cute". +1 on "trim*" as it is clear what's going on and no confusion with preexisting methods. +1 on "remove*" for the same reasons as "trim*". And if no consensus is reached in this thread for a name I would assume the SC is going to ultimately decide on the name if the PEP is accepted as the burden of being known as "the person who chose _those_ method names on str" is more than any one person should have bear. ;)
