I think the fact that the first few tries here were *wrong* about how to
implement a chomp indicates that it really should part of Python.  Just
because it's easy to implement doesn't mean it can't be part of the, say,
string methods.  I mean, look at str.{upper,lower,isdigit}, etc.  A chomp
method would be popular; rstrip or implementing your own doesn't cut it.
