There's a slight problem with that: what happens if more than one suffix
matches? E.g. given:

    "musical".lcut(('al', 'ical'))

should the suffix "al" be removed, leaving "music"? (First match wins.)

Or should the suffix "ical" be removed, leaving "mus"? (Longest match
wins.)

I think you should choose  "First match wins", because in this case you can make "Longest match wins" as `"musical".lcut(tuple(sorted(('al, 'ical'))))`. But if you choose "Longest match wins" there is no chance to achieve "First match wins" behaviour.

Sorry it should be `.rcut` instead of `.lcut`  in `"musical".rcut(tuple(sorted(('al, 'ical'))))` at the first place. I will prefer names `.lstrip` and `.rstrip` instead of *cut versions.
