+ - String methods lstrip(), rstrip() and strip() now take an optional
+   argument that specifies the characters to strip.  For example,
+   "Foo!!!?!?!?".rstrip("?!") -> "Foo". In addition, "200L".strip("L") 
+   will return "200". This is useful for replacing code that assumed
+   longs will always be printed with a trailing "L".
