Re: [Python-ideas] New explicit methods to trim strings

The best thing is that there will no longer be any confusion as to whether you are looking at a Unicode string or a byte-string:

a = a.new_string_trimmed_on_the_left() a = a.new_bytes_trimmed_on_the_left()

To keep the RUE happy, instead of a "string" we should call it a "mathematically_valid_encoded_code_point_sequence". -- Greg
