Summary: String method: Cutoff

Initial Comment:
string.cutoff_front(string, i)
Takes string and cuts off the first i 
characters. Returns the shortened 
result.

string.cutoff_back(string, i)
Takes string and 
cuts off the last i characters. Returns the shortened result.

I 
was reading the documentation for the string module and did not 
see any such method. Therefore, I would like for these methods to 
be a part of the string module.

Umm, you know about slices?

"hello"[1:] --> "ello"
"hello"[:-1] --> "hell"

etc.  Rejecting unless a surprisingly compelling argument
turns up.
