[Python-ideas] New explicit methods to trim strings

[Kirill Balunov]

Sorry one more time (it is early morning and I should drink a cup of coffee
first before posting here). Of course it should be `tuple(sorted(('al',
'ical'), key=len, reverse=True))`, I hope it was obvious to everyone from
the very beginning.

with kind regards,
